Klappentext zu „In a Land of Paper Gods “
For readers who loved The Poisonwood Bible and The Light Between Oceans, a heartbreaking story of a young girl's coming of age that is also a love letter to China.The pupils of Lushan School know that their parents love them - they're just too busy saving the souls of the Chinese to have them at their side. At the top of a remote, fabled mountain, the teachers have attempted to create a little outpost of the British Empire, but once the mists descend, it is all too easy for their charges to retreat into a world of fantasy where right and wrong are easily muddled. When precocious Etta's attempt to single herself out as a 'prophetess' result in tragic consequences for a young Chinese girl, she is painfully cast out, but not before the tide of history reaches the school, and the pupils find themselves prisoners of war.
