520 Quick-witted, ambitious Ji Lin is stuck as an apprentice
dressmaker, moonlighting as a dancehall girl to help pay
off her mother's Mahjong debts. But when one of her dance
partners accidentally leaves behind a gruesome souvenir,
Ji Lin may finally get the adventure she has been longing
for. Eleven-year-old houseboy Ren is also on a mission,
racing to fulfill his former master's dying wish: that Ren
find the man's finger, lost years ago in an accident, and
bury it with his body. Ren has 49 days to do so, or his
master's soul will wander the earth forever. As the days
tick relentlessly by, a series of unexplained deaths racks
the district, along with whispers of men who turn into
tigers. Ji Lin and Ren's increasingly dangerous paths
crisscross through lush plantations, hospital storage
rooms, and ghostly dreamscapes. Yangsze Choo's The Night
Tiger pulls us into a world of servants and masters, age-
old superstition and modern idealism, sibling rivalry and
forbidden love. But anchoring this dazzling, propulsive
novel is the intimate coming-of-age of a child and a young
woman, each searching for their place in a society that
would rather they stay invisible
