The stunning first book by Yiyun Li, who The San Francisco Chronicle called "one of the best new fiction writers of the year." In this astonishing and moving book, Li takes us into the lives of people in modern China, and of Chinese-Americans in the U.S.
Li, who moved to the United States from China only ten years ago, is the winner of The Paris Review's Plimpton Prize for new writers and the prestigious Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award.
