"A sumptuous, decadent read."--The New York Times
"Vo has crafted a retelling that, in many ways, surpasses the original."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review
Immigrant. Socialite. Magician.
But the world is full of wonders: infernal pacts and dazzling illusions, lost ghosts and elemental mysteries. In all paper is fire, and Jordan can burn the cut paper heart out of a man. She just has to learn how.
Nghi Vo's debut novel, The Chosen and the Beautiful, reinvents this classic of the American canon as a coming-of-age story full of magic, mystery, and glittering excess, and introduces a major new literary voice. |
