Where Lake Meets Sky, Book 1

By Ge Cui

The Where Lake Meets Sky is a sweeping novel that spans a hundred years. It traces the rise and fall of a family, mirrored against the wandering life of an individual, all set against the backdrop of Gaoyou, an ancient city in northern Jiangsu. It unfolds a narrative of fate, kinship, and the pull of one's homeland.
The story tells of several generations who endured wars and upheavals, holding fast through turmoil, while also capturing the solitude and search for belonging in foreign lands. Lives reshaped by the torrents of history converge into a vast tapestry where family and nation intertwine.
This is not only a chronicle of one family's past, but also a reflection of ordinary people's joys and sorrows within the sweep of a great era. Along the way, it depicts the landscapes and customs of both home and abroad, the tenderness and fragmentation of kinship, and a deep meditation on the turns of human destiny.
