Besides throwing my raincoat back into my suitcase, I also decided at the last minute to bring Yangsze Choo's novel The Fox Wife. That also turned out to be a wise addition. I ended up blowing through the almost four-hundred page book during the trip (and that included me spending time every day writing). So, it was obviously an entertaining novel. As I told Janet, I don't think the novel changed my life, but it's definitely one I enjoyed reading. It worked better as a story about fox spirits than it does as a detective novel (too many people show up on cue to give detailed information; at times it felt like an episode of Law & Order, where characters, almost comically (actually, completely comical) walk into scene to provide the information that is needed at that moment). Still, I'd definitely place it in the recommended category.
