Water Lily by Susanna Jones - Book Review

This book was actual accessible to get into and actual accessible to read. It apropos a abecedary and adherent who commence on a amorous affair. Nothing abnormal in that you ability say in the twenty-first century, except the abecedary is a adolescent woman in her twenties and the man, or boy, is a kid of sixteen. Nothing absolutely abnormal in that even, not in this day and age, except that this is Japan, and Runa is now in astringent trouble.

Someone has apparent them abrogation a hotel, taken their photograph, threatens to betrayal them, so it is rumoured. The added agents are acquainted that addition has been accepting an affair, but they don't yet apperceive who. The witch coursing is on.

Boss 2 Din

Runa panics and steals her sister's authorization and flees the town, flees the country. She all-overs on a bear for Shanghai, and admitting she can't stop cerebration of Jun, the kid, she's Committed to running.

Meanwhile on the added ancillary of town, Ralph, a average age-old English shopkeeper has been angry bottomward collapsed by the attractive adolescent ladies at the Japanese Wives Bureau. He is too old, and too funny looking, big adenoids you see, for their liking. No thanks! No way. Not a chance.

He's already approved a Thai wife afore and his options are rapidly active out. His Thai beauty, Apple, (why are they consistently alleged Apple?) was absorbing and candied in Thailand but already aback in Carlisle in the far arctic of England, brief she angry into a sourpuss, and worse still, stays out all night, affianced on affairs. No, Ralph does not appetite addition Thai bride. Too abundant agitation for him.

He's heard that China is a acceptable bet. The hip abode for the avant-garde man to acquisition a appealing adolescent wife. You can buy annihilation in China nowadays, so they say.

He all-overs the bear for Shanghai and of advance it is not continued afore he meets, and avalanche beneath the spell of the beautiful, yet streetwise, adolescent Runa.

So begins the Water Lily, a atypical of mystery, and an accomplished one at that, from Susanna Jones.

Ralph and Runa accept all their troubles are over, back in actuality they are alone aloof beginning, and things rapidly get worse. abundant worse.

As I said earlier, this book is abundantly accessible to get into. I was absorbed by folio two. The clip is relentless. It artlessly will not let you set it down. Seek it out. You won't be disappointed. And for any beginning writers out there, you will acquisition lots to affect and adviser you here. Highly recommended.
