Description
Across a century of Chinese history, three generations of women—Ah Xue, Mimosa, and Fei Fei—are bound together by love, sacrifice, and the fierce will to endure. From the upheavals of revolution to the pressures of the Cultural Revolution and the aftermath of Tiananmen Square, each woman confronts a different kind of loss while navigating the shifting rules of family, gender, and belonging. Woven through their private lives are the public forces that reshape everything: politics that enters the home, identity that refuses to be simplified, and survival that demands both compromise and courage. Inspired by the author’s own family history, this sweeping, braided saga blends intimate emotional realism with the grandeur of historical fiction, offering a moving meditation on dignity, resilience, and the unexpected joys that keep a family intact.
