A magnificent work of feeling and sensibility

This work in its Chinese original is a milestone of contemporary Chinese fiction. It uses the backdrop of the Cultural Revolution to explore timeless human emotions and sexuality. The author Wang Anyi is of the same generation and similar in style to another great Chinese woman writer, Yan Geling, whose "White Snake and Other Stories" have just appeared in English and whose film "Xiu Xiu: The Sent-Down Girl" (directed by Joan Chen) is currently playing in major U.S. cities.
