After reading a few Chinese-wording books, I am going to read an English one. I haven't touched any of Jeffery's for a long time. The previous one is Stone Monkey or The Blue Nowhere? I'm not sure. I like Lincoln series most. That's why all his latest releases are all Lincoln's ?
This book seems to be related with the Black history in USA. There is no more black slaves in USA but no doubt that races discrimination is still existing there. No better than any other country. This is USA that everyone is blind to see their own faults.
The background of the book:
Harlem - is a neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City, long known as a major black cultural and business center. After being associated for much of the twentieth century with black culture, but also crime and poverty, it is now experiencing something of a social and economic renaissance.
Twelfth Card:
Sacrifice ----- Letting go ----- Surrending ----- Passivity
Suspension ----- Acceptance ----- Renounce ----- Patience
New point of view ----- Contemplation ----- Inner harmony
Conformism ----- Nonaction ----- Waiting ----- Giving up
