The Absence of Truth

By Julia Snart

During diagnosis and treatment for breast cancer, Mairi reflects on her romantic but doomed marriage to a Chinese musician, their adventurous trip to Inner Mongolia searching for 'throat singers' and traditional musicians. Equally adventurous is their sojourn with his family in Peking, his four colourful sisters, and the culture shock of early post-Mao China. Returning to London, their two children are born, but when his gambling becomes dominant in their lives, Mairi makes her escape to Southern France.
