Book Description
Here's a story written in breezy journalese that has all the ingredients of a first-class thriller: crime, mystery, and love. Fresh and hot as "front page" stuff, it travels swiftly, keyed to the author's enthusiasm for the setting-her own town, Chicago-her newspaper experience, her own obvious passion for life, its perpetual intrigue, plot and counterplot. The whole story comes to the reader through the eyes of reporter Kym, and of Dawn Carson-"sob-sister-in-chief to Chicago's most spectacular evening paper." A story in which are involved an Evanston professor and his highly decorative wife; the police of that "snooty" suburb; Chicago's Chief of Detectives; Annie Thompson-who raises delphiniums for a living; Karl Meisterburg, wearing a fur-collared coat in August; Dawn and Kym falling in love. And all revolving around a mysterious pair of jade green cats. Like the Sphinx they will guard their secret to the end. The Jade Green Cats was published in 1931.

The Jade Cat
Author: Suzanne Brogger
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 1446499316
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 484
Book Description
Beginning with the great-grandfather Isidor Levin and his emigration from Poland in the 19th century, his establishment of The Royal Danish Distillery - creators of the famous Danish snaps - and the family's successful assimilation in Denmark, the story follows the children and grandchildren, as they look for successes in Denmark and abroad, in business and within the arts. Suzanne Brogger's family saga takes us from Denmark to Riga and back, through two World Wars, to India and Afghanistan, to America as it was and as it is, and it takes us through boarding schools, mental hospitals, and almshouses for the poor. At the heart of the narrative is the grandmother, Katze, and her memories. She tells the story from her patrician apartment in Copenhagen's Gammel M-nt 14, where she has lived since the 1940s, and her story is a haunting portrait of the pride, conceitedness, grandness, and despair, that has followed the Levin family while the world outside the old apartment gradually fell apart. The family remains prey to drug addiction and suicide attempts. Some escape into sex, others into evangelical politics or religion. Regn becomes a UN diplomat in the Third World, his wife tries to kill their son, while their daughter serves her sexual apprenticeship in a Thai monastery-brothel and after a brief period of social acceptability, ends her days a bag lady in Copenhagen. As diverse and uncompromising as William Styron's Sophie's Choice and Isabel Allende's House of the Spirits. To have conjured up a cast of grotesques and rendered them sympathetic is a challenge that Suzanne Brogger has triumphantly brought off. .
