0 reviewsRock 'n' roll, revolution, & romance are seductively woven together in this intense & moving novel from the author of Twenty Fragments of a Ravenous Youth
In her flat in north London, Iona Kirkpatrick sets to work on a new project translating a collection of letters & diaries by a Chinese musician.
“A harrowing glimpse into post-Tiananmen repression in China... A mix of dissident rhetoric & heartbreak that turns on one couple’s story.” - Kirkus Reviews
In a flat above a noisy north London market, translator Iona Kirkpatrick starts work on a Chinese letter. Two lovers, Mu & Jian, have been driven apart by forces beyond their control. As Iona unravels the story of the lovers, Jian & Mu seem to be travelling further & further away from each other. Iona, intoxicated by their romance, sets out to bring them back together, but time is running out.
"A complex & fascinating political narrative. The lives of Jian & Mu, haunted by the turbulent history of Chinese politics (in particular, the Tiananmen Square massacre of 1989), read like a eulogy for a lost vision of China." - The Observer (London)
“[Guo’s] dark, witty fiction examines the interface between east & west... This novel has bold, refreshing things to say about art & politics.” - Financial Times
