The Incarnations
of Susan Barker (Goodreads Author)
Description
Who are you? You must be wondering. I am your soulmate, your old friend, and I have come back to this city of sixteen million in search of you.So begins the first letter that falls into Wangâs lap as he flips down the visor in his taxi. The letters that follow are filled with the stories of Wangâs previous livesâfrom escaping a marriage to a spirit bride, to being a slave on the run from Genghis Khan, to living as a fisherman during the Opium Wars, and being a teenager on the Red Guard during the cultural revolutionâbound to his mysterious âsoulmate,â spanning one thousand years of betrayal and intrigue.As the letters continue to appear seemingly out of thin air, Wang becomes convinced that someone is watching himâsomeone who claims to have known him for over one thousand years. And with each letter, Wang feels the watcher growing closer and closerâŠSeamlessly weaving Chinese folklore, history, and literary classics, The Incarnations is a taut and gripping novel that sheds light on the cyclical nature of history as it hints that the past is never truly settled.
