This political, and darkly romantic novel centers on Mei Puti, a "forty-something" professor of literature, who suffers during the Cultural Revolution because of her heritage as part of the old elite.
"Fluidly rendered by Lykes, this is an inspiring story about friendship, love, and the ability of the human spirit to hope and somehow survive." —Library Journal
"Wise and brilliantly expressive.... This novel truly mirrors the miseries the Cultural Revolution brought upon the Chinese people; it is historical, emotionally charged, and hued with rich romantic themes." —from the foreword by Chen Su Yen
