A Chinese Odyssey by Axel Forrester, the second book in the Odyssey series, 'is filled with a plethora of interesting characters, ' International Review of Books.
'Well written with details of the trials and tribulations of the protagonist, Grant Decker. I was riveted. A totally fun and enjoyable read.' Elaine Appel.
It is 2010 and American Grant Decker is living his dream of being a photographer in Cornwall. He's got a chance to go to China, courtesy of Charon, his ex-girlfriend. What she hasn't told him is that the trip, with a group of American teachers, includes a risky plan that could bring the wrath of the Chinese government upon him.
He slips and slides through a packed itinerary encountering places and people that surprise him - people like Guy Anderson, Dr Sòng, the Mosuo people and the Chinese barber/musicians in Dali who will remain in his memory forever.
Despite restrictions, he manages to take some of the best pictures of his life and make his escape with a bit of help from a witchy connection in St Ives.
With the same highly readable prose as the first book, A Cornish Odyssey, join Grant in a new round of engaging and funny adventures.
