Paperback. Eyes Beyond the Shore - by Chang Li Yen In Eyes Beyond the Shore, acclaimed Taiwanese author Chang Li Yen leads readers across the shifting boundary between life and death, memory and history. Blending supernatural mystery with historical resonance, the book traces the hidden emotional currents that bind the living and the departed across the waters of East Asia. A gifted empath touches the grief that lingers in a piano haunted by wartime longing.A detective walks through mirrors into the reflection of his own fear.A historian of the Min River deciphers the voices of the drowned.Across the Strait, listeners, dreamers, and seekers awaken to the same undertow-an invisible tide that carries love, guilt, and unfinished stories between generations. Through twenty-five intricately connected tales, Chang constructs a mosaic of "the other shore"-a realm where memories breathe and the soul's residue shapes reality. Each story stands alone as a mystery of its own, yet together they form a grand meditation on remembrance and redemption. The empaths, restorers, and truth-seekers of these pages are not heroes of power but of sensitivity-those who feel too deeply, who perceive the pain others deny. Their journeys expose the fractures beneath modern civilization: wars unhealed, families divided by borders, and the eternal question of what it means to be human when the past never truly dies. Chang's language is lucid and lyrical, his atmosphere cinematic yet intimate. Drawing on his background as a journalist and cultural historian, he fuses investigative precision with spiritual introspection. Eyes Beyond the Shore expands the territory of crime and ghost fiction into something larger-an exploration of empathy itself. Every supernatural encounter mirrors a social truth; every haunting reveals an unfinished chapter of collective memory. From the rain-soaked streets of Taipei to the mirror-bright corridors of Hong Kong, from Kinmen's war-torn tunnels to the river fogs of Fujian, the settings shimmer between reality and dream. Beneath the suspense and metaphysical beauty runs a profound moral pulse: that memory, however painful, is the bridge that keeps humanity whole. Eyes Beyond the Shore is both an epic of unseen connections and an elegy for what history forgets. It invites readers to look beyond the surface-to see with "heterochromatic eyes" that discern both the real and the illusory at once. When the final page closes, the silence left behind feels like the sea after a storm-emptied of voices, yet marked by countless footprints. For those who loved The Shadow of the Wind, The Book of Lost Things, or The Sixth Sense, Chang Li Yen's haunting new work offers a rare fusion of mystery, philosophy, and emotion. It is a book about the invisible architecture of feeling, where empathy becomes both gift and curse, and where every ghost is, ultimately, a reflection of ourselves. This item is printed on demand.

In Eyes Beyond the Shore, acclaimed Taiwanese author Chang Li Yen leads readers across the shifting boundary between life and death, memory and history. Blending supernatural mystery with historical resonance, the book traces the hidden emotional currents that bind the living and the departed across the waters of East Asia.
A gifted empath touches the grief that lingers in a piano haunted by wartime longing.
A detective walks through mirrors into the reflection of his own fear.
A historian of the Min River deciphers the voices of the drowned.
Across the Strait, listeners, dreamers, and seekers awaken to the same undertow—an invisible tide that carries love, guilt, and unfinished stories between generations.
Through twenty-five intricately connected tales, Chang constructs a mosaic of “the other shore”—a realm where memories breathe and the soul’s residue shapes reality. Each story stands alone as a mystery of its own, yet together they form a grand meditation on remembrance and redemption. The empaths, restorers, and truth-seekers of these pages are not heroes of power but of sensitivity—those who feel too deeply, who perceive the pain others deny. Their journeys expose the fractures beneath modern civilization: wars unhealed, families divided by borders, and the eternal question of what it means to be human when the past never truly dies.
Chang’s language is lucid and lyrical, his atmosphere cinematic yet intimate. Drawing on his background as a journalist and cultural historian, he fuses investigative precision with spiritual introspection. Eyes Beyond the Shore expands the territory of crime and ghost fiction into something larger—an exploration of empathy itself. Every supernatural encounter mirrors a social truth; every haunting reveals an unfinished chapter of collective memory.
