Zen Cho Bücher

Ein romantischer und humorvoller Fantasy-Roman der gefeierten Debüt-Autorin Zen Cho, der in einem alternativen England des 19. Jahrhunderts spielt, in dem Magie zum Alltag gehört. Zacharias Wythe hat mehr als ein Problem. Nicht genug damit, dass er sich als frisch ernannter »Königlicher Magier« mit mordlustigen Neidern auseinandersetzen muss – auch die Quelle seiner Macht, die Magie Englands, droht zu versiegen, und niemand weiß, warum das so ist. Alarmiert reist Zacharias ins Feen-Land, um dem mysteriösen Magieschwund auf den Grund zu gehen. Unterwegs trifft er auf die junge Waise Prunella Gentleman, die ihn mit ihrer schlagfertigen Art und ihrem magischen Talent bezaubert. Doch Prunella hütet ein Geheimnis, das die gesamte Magie Englands auf den Kopf stellen könnte … „Die Magier Seiner Majestät ist genau das, was das Genre braucht.“ The Independent „Dieser herrliche Roman steckt voller Überraschungen. Zen Cho entwirft eine faszinierende Welt, die einen nicht mehr loslässt.“ Naomi Novik, New-York-Times und Spiegel-Bestseller-Autorin der „Feuerreiter Seiner Majestät“

Zen Cho returns with a found family wuxia fantasy that combines the vibrancy of old school martial arts movies with characters drawn from the margins of history.A bandit walks into a coffeehouse, and it all goes downhill from there. Guet Imm, a young votary of the Order of the Pure Moon, joins up with an eclectic group of thieves (whether they like it or not) in order to protect a sacred object, and finds herself in a far more complicated situation than she could have ever imagined.

“All hits no skips. I was incredibly moved by these poems.” —Roxane Gay, via Goodreads From National Poetry Series winner Su Cho, chosen by Paige Lewis, a debut poetry collection about immigration, memory, and a family’s lexicon Language and lore are at the core of The Symmetry of Fish, a moving debut about coming-of-age in the middle of nowhere. With striking and tender insight, it seeks to give voice to those who have been denied their stories, and examines the way phrases and narratives are passed down through immigrant families—not diluted over time, but distilled into potency over generations. In this way, a family's language is not lost but continuously remade, hitched to new associations, and capable of blooming anew, with the power to cut across space and time to unearth buried memories. The poems in The Symmetry of Fish insist that language is first and foremost a bodily act; even if our minds can't recall a word or a definition, if we trust our mouths, expression will find us—though never quite in the forms we expect.

From the renowned, award-winning author Zen Cho comes a delightfully funny romance about family, class, and love in modern London. From the outside, Renee Goh’s life looks perfect. She’s thirty and beautiful, runs a glamorous—and profitable—women’s clothing company in London, and is dating a hot Taiwanese pop star. But Renee is lonely. Estranged from her family in Singapore, she practically lives at the office, and now she’s just been dumped by her supposed boyfriend. Who she never saw anyway, so why is she ruining her Instagram-ready makeup by crying? Before she can curl up on the couch with a pint of Ben & Jerry’s, Renee’s father calls. He’s retiring, and, thanks to the screw-ups of her wastrel brothers, he is considering her as the next CEO of the family business: Chahaya Group, one of the largest conglomerates in Southeast Asia. That stamp of her father’s approval would mean everything to Renee, but can she cooperate with the brothers who drove her out of Singapore? But fate isn’t done with her. That same night, Renee bumps into her first love, Yap Ket Siong, who broke her heart during university. They spend a wonderful night together, but Ket Siong is pursuing a dangerous vengeance for his family. In the light of day is there any hope for the two of them?
