HEART-SHOVEL

Heart-Shovel is a ghost story haunted by love, a love story haunted by ghosts and a literary mystery propelled by the unsaid secrets of a murder of century in Hong Kong under English colony in 1976. You wont know whether its fear, love, or outright beauty making your heart beat like a drum. You wont know, and you wont believe Chinese Feng Shui is powerful enough to curse your love one in generations under the disrespected grave setting. You'll just have to keep reading. Impressive debut is a spellbinding bend of historical fiction and ghost story, made all the more believable- and harrowing- by its realistic depiction of the tenuous balance between fulfillment and sacrifice within a life. Rare force of a tale of murder in the 1800 in Virginia. A kind of tale on the mingled evils of gluttony, and brutality. Jossda has triumphed in her honesty, and the truth of her testimony by her father's dairy. The ability to distill concrete objects into languages of the greatest intensity and to sear this case in half of the decade with Zona's helping hand.
