A unique and well written revenge-ish story of a very unique life. Dealing with crushing sadness and how life is lived when you feel you have nothing to lose. Though the book is more heist-y than sad.
Subtle feeling mystery unraveling in a slight and mythical magic of historical China setting that meditates on friendship, vengeance, and moral obligation. Quite wonderful.

The Fox Wife is a fairly slow-paced book until right at the end. The edges of mystery and vastly different perspectives of the two main characters keep the story fresh and interesting. It's a very good read whether you're in it for the murder mystery aspect or the talented storytelling that goes into the book's minutiae. I loved it for both.
