The Hungry Ghosts
The Hungry Ghosts | Anne Berry
3 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
Alice Safford, troubled daughter of a leading figure in Hong Kongs colonial government, explores the site of an old army hospital. The hungry ghost of a young Chinese girl, murdered during the Islands Japanese occupation 25 years earlier, awaits her in the morgues shadows. The perfect host for the parasite, Alice returns with the ghost to the familys luxury home on The Peak. Here, the lethal mix of the two, entangled in the Safford familys web of dark secrets and desperate lies, unleashes chaos. As successive tragedies engulf Alice, her ghostly entourage swells alarmingly. She flees to England, then France, in a bid to escape the past, only to find her unwanted spirits have accompanied her. It seems the peace she longs for will prove far more elusive than she could ever have imagined. With its dazzling array of characters, human and spectral, and the numerous twists and turns in their fortunes, The Hungry Ghosts is a rich feast for the imagination, marking the debut of a storyteller of the very highest rank.

Holy trigger warning bat man! This book starts out with a graphic rape and murder of a minor from her point of view and quite frankly after that it doesn‘t really matter what it does. I could see it being a provoking read but that is just not where my headspace is right now. #dnf #bail #nope #triggers

JSW I have so much respect for you for walking away. ✊🏻 7y
Jabberwocky @JSW I really appreciate it. I find it hard to bail but it was just too much. 7y
