黑玫瑰 The Rose Crossing, Nicholas Jose , Li Yao (translator) single work novel historical fiction
A 17th Century English horticulturist and his daughter are shipwrecked on a desert island, where they meet a deposed pretender to the Chinese throne and his elderly advisor, lost while sailing to Rome to seek the Pope's help. While the young romance, the old haggle, European navigation savvy in exchange for a rare Chinese rose.
红线 The Red Thread, Nicholas Jose , Li Yao (translator) single work novel

'A seductive love story set in contemporary Shanghai, The Red Thread intertwines the lives of two pairs of lovers across the centuries. Shen is a young, American-educated appraiser for an auction house. Ruth is a gifted Australian artist he meets, it seems, by chance. And Han is a beautiful, enigmatic woman who both facilitates and complicates their relationship. Yet all three lives mysteriously mirror characters described in a rare, eighteenth-century book that comes up for auction – a book that is missing its final chapters. As the characters in the original tale move toward an ominous, unknown end, Shen’s search for the missing pages goes from curiosity to desperation as he hopes to discover – and perhaps alter – his fated future with Ruth.'
