A heart for this novel and it may say. The atmosphere, Chinese traditions, expertise and knowledge to handle that so well know Chinese, rich and captivating culture. All that we can hope for a book whose back cover is complimentary. I traveled to the West, but in mainland China. I traveled with Taoist masters, the Chinese mafia, the history of the emperors. I have read pages like Elvira has traveled with her niece Fernanda, Biao servant, Master and Teacher Red Jade Black Jade, his twin monastery Wudang, but also Tichborne, the journalist and not forgetting the antiquarian Dah -Tec, kilometers without me interrupting. A pure joy to find his roots in this culture and through a highly documented and very rich book.
