Barrio Chino

G P Morgan

In every life there comes a time to hold onto what you've got: but what happens if you've already let it slip away?


People thought he was dead. 'Where had he been?', they whispered in his wake every night at all the parties. Everywhere we went in Barcelona, someone seemed to know Morgan, wanting to greet him like a long lost friend or just shake hands with him like the president. He’d buy them drinks from his bottomless wallet and they’d laugh and shout and then in the middle of all the clamour, he’d pull me to one side and we’d be slipping out, onto somewhere new. He’d found me in a bar, waiting for Fi. He’d taken me in, letting me stay for free in his crumbling hostel in the half-demolished Barrio Chino. He'd given me jobs, saved my life and introduced me to Cati, his girlfriend. Only she wasn’t caught up in his whirl. Abandoned by Morgan, I reached out to her and when he found out, it was all I could do to stop him with the secret I’d discovered. The secret that launched Morgan’s final search of Barcelona.

Please Note chapter 35 is a plot summary if you don't have time!

I thought this was a ripping read - carrying me along from the first chapter. I wasn't bothered by the italics and liked the immediacy created by the use of the presnt tense. Not my normal kind of read so did get a bit lost with all the new creatures and language to take in but good enough to keep... view book

Thought this was a good start and I'd like to see where it's going. The opening drew me in with only 'the tour bus' throwing me slightly. I think the switching back and forth works well and is signposted clearly. I'm interested in the character of Reed, what he did what he's going to do so that's... view book

I liked the narrator's voice from the beginning and even her harsh words seemed out of jealousy. I suppose the plot as is, will deal with George's and the narrator's growing up and I think the episodic way you reveal the development of George works well. Look forward to the rest.

Some good ideas here - I liked the idea of Satan as a tour guide. I would've liked that to be developed more and also to be thrown into it a bit more, left guessing where I was, just as the main character would be? I did the like the theme of the devil reforming people, although that sound more li... view book

I like this you establish a good voice for the poor downtrodden shoe and keep working with it. There are plenty of nice touches in your descriptions (Breeders, the text speak of the mobile) and your approach to everything being alive is consisently used throughtout. I'll happily back this.
