Die Manufaktur der magischen Worte
Welche Geschichten sind es wert, geteilt und bewahrt zu werden?Als die Studentin Monica von dem Geheimnis erfährt, das ihre Großmutter mit einer alten Bleistiftfabrik in Shanghai verbindet, will sie alles wissen. Was geschah damals wirklich in der Phoenix Pencil Company? Welcher Zauber liegt in den Bleistiften verborgen? Je tiefer Monica in die Vergangenheit ihrer Familie eintaucht, umso schmerzlicher werden die Erinnerungen und umso schwerer die Worte, die ausgesprochen werden müssen, um den Fluch der Vergangenheit zu brechen. Ein ergreifendes Romandebüt über Familie, Liebe und Verlust und über die magische Kraft von Geschichten - mit dem Allison King von Reese Witherspoon entdeckt und in ihrem Book Club gefördert wurde.

The Phoenix Pencil Company
Praise for The Phoenix Pencil Company: ‘An absorbing family saga interwoven with reflections on the power of stories, and who has the right to decide what is preserved or permitted to remain secret’ Guardian ‘The thread of magical realism throughout nods to Gabriel García Márquez, but the novel is also enlightening on 20th-century Chinese and Taiwanese history … an intimate story of familial love and connection throughout the generations’ Independent ‘First-time novelist King delivers a suspenseful family epic fuelled by love and espionage’ Mail on Sunday ‘A magical, multi-generational novel to get lost in’ Good Housekeeping ‘King’s debut explores feminine identity and how the memories of past generations can be inherited … A reminder of how family ties shape us’ Woman & Home ‘I loved this wildly inventive novel and its exploration of how technology and humanity can intersect in deeply meaningful ways.
