Description
In an unnamed town where reality bends and smiles are perpetual, a group of women navigate an uncanny world of secrets and desires. Through interconnected, often surreal narratives, characters like factory worker Niu Cuilan and the enigmatic Xiao Yuan explore themes of love, trauma, and enlightenment. Can Xue masterfully crafts a fiction that defies conventional storytelling, presenting an 'enormous enigma within an enigma' that challenges perceptions of reality itself. This novel is a journey into the depths of the human psyche, where the boundaries between the mundane and the magical blur.
