Madeleine Thein’s gripping evocation of the persuasive power of revolution and its effects on personal and national identity: this new novel is breathtaking in scope and ambition even as it is hauntingly intimate.
Canada 1991. Ten-year-old Marie and her mother invite a guest into their home: a young woman who has fled China in the aftermath of the Tiananmen Square protests. Through the sharing of the woman’s family story, Madeleine Thein brings to life one of the most significant political regimes of the 20th century and its traumatic legacy, which still resonates for a new generation.
"...a beautiful, sorrowful work. The book impresses in many senses: It stamps the memory with an afterimage; it successfully explores larger ideas about politics and art; it has the satisfying, epic sweep of a 19th-century Russian novel, spanning three generations and lapping up against the shores of two continents ... The larger saga unfurls like silk — and proves similarly resistant to knots, a testament to Ms Thien’s storytelling skills... Ms Thien captures painfully well the depersonalization and numbness of living through the Cultural Revolution." - Jennifer Senior, The New York Times
