Sobre este título
‘A beautiful, devastating story of love and loss. A stunning debut’ CHRISTIE WATSON
A stunning, page-turning love story of family and fate from the author of the acclaimed memoir, Inferno.
I made my plan. I would be the north stars: the decider of fate, of what was to come.
Eunha grows up in a quiet village in Hong Kong with little knowledge of the reputation of her father, a Dragon Head and leader of a criminal organisation infamous in the city. While her grandmother does her best to shield her from the violence that underpins their lives, Eunha only has her brother Solomon and their one permitted companion, a boy named Kai, for company.
But when Eunha marries into a supposedly respectable Hong Kong family, the veneer of her quiet life begins to crack. When her young son is kidnapped, she is cast back into the city’s criminal underground and into the orbit of Kai, now a Dragon Head himself. In this world love and loyalty are stalked by fear and betrayal. Will Eunha finally give in to the life she has strived so hard to rise above or was her future always fated?
The Devoted is a beautifully written, unforgettable debut novel of love, family and betrayal from an electric new voice in fiction.
