Turn Off the Lights [Chinese]

By Frank Thilly;Ledger Wood

The novel uses the tragic fate of the impoverished peasant family of You Da Sao as its central thread: to pay taxes, she is forced to sell her daughter and dog; her husband is beaten and imprisoned, and she repeatedly stands up to resist the tyranny; even after escaping to the provincial capital to work as a wet nurse, she cannot escape the humiliation of the upper class. The work tears away the veil of colonial rule and feudal oppression, portraying the awakening and struggle of women from the lower classes in dire straits--a blood-and-tears epic of rural Vietnam.
