A chilling and relentless tale of family responsibility and a mother's sacrifice, Marrow is Yan Lianke at his best. In a small village deep in the Balou Mountains, Fourth Wife You despairs of what the future holds for her four mentally-impaired children. A cure for the family curse appears, but it will extract a price so primal and complete that no one can be expected to make it except, perhaps, for a mother.

Un bien étrange livre que ce tout petit opus. Une ode à l’amour maternel nous dit-on. Oui, c’est vrai, mais quel amour maternel… Yan Lianke va le chercher dans les recoins les plus sombres de la maternité et de la famille. J’espérais retrouver la lumineuse poésie de Les jours, les mois, les années. Ce ne fut pas le cas même si le livre se passe encore une fois dans une campagne éloignée de tout et où les traditions sont vivaces.
Un livre court à lire si cela ne vous dérange pas d’être un peu bousculé par une atmosphère un peu glauque, ou tout au moins pesante. Je l’ai lu, je n’en suis pas mécontente, mais je n’y reviendrai pas.

Balou mendikateko balada, Yan Lianke, Maialen Marin eta Aiora Jaka (itzultzaileak): Balou mendikateko herrixka galdu eta pobre batean, lau anai-arreba atzeratu daude familia batean, eta haien amak, You Sipok, eginahal guztiak egin beharko ditu, bai etxea aurrera ateratzeko, bai seme-alabentzako ezkongai egokiak topatzeko, horretarako biziekin eta hilekin borrokan ibili behar badu ere, herrikideen aurreiritziei nahiz naturaren legeei aurre eginez.
Mitoa eta errealismoa modu berezian uztartzen ditu Yan Liankek nobela honetan, mendialdeko bizitza zail eta gogorra kontatzeko ametsak, fantasia eta magia ere erabiliz, eguneroko bizitzaren azpian dautzan errealitate ikusezinak agerian jarriz. Gai gordinak hizkuntza eder baten bidez landuz eta kontakizunari erritmo doi eta egitura perfektua emanez.
