A review by kristianawithak
The Secret Talker by Geling Yan

4.0

The Secret Talker is a quiet compact novel that packs a lot into its slim pages. A married woman begins an email correspondence with a stranger who has been watching her carefully. She is torn between the intrigue and attention being paid to her and her faithfulness to her spouse.

Hongmei begins to tell her secrets to the person on the other side of the screen, and as her story unfolds the reader is captivated and curious to see how it will end.

This translated novel is great and I look forward to reading more by Geling Yan.
