Description
In this sweeping novel, a young girl named Zhuli discovers a hidden world beneath her family's home, uncovering a legacy of secrets and stories that span generations. As she delves into the past, she encounters the intertwined lives of musicians and revolutionaries in Shanghai during the tumultuous Cultural Revolution, and the echoes of their experiences in the Tiananmen Square demonstrations. Through the power of music, literature, and shared memory, characters find connection and meaning across time and political upheaval. Madeleine Thien masterfully weaves together themes of art, history, and the enduring human spirit, exploring how stories can both preserve and transform our understanding of the world.
