A stunning blend of magical realism in the vein of Yann Martel's Life of Pi and historical adventure novels. The Qing Empire is in decline. The powerful empress has died, and the fate of her zoo is in doubt: the animals will either be sold or starve to death. Preacher Morgan Carroway seeks something unusual to attract the attention of provincial residents who no longer trust missionaries. So he purchases an elephant, a lion, two zebras, five baboons, a parrot, and a python from the imperial zoo—and sets off on an epic journey to Chifeng County, teeming with bandits, shamans, and werewolves. A charming story, rich in striking everyday details, about how true love and faith often manifest in the most unexpected things and actions.
