  • Broschiertes Buch

A first novel exceptional for its exquisite writing and for its rich portrait of a woman's life in a China now lost. Her story is rendered with exceptional grace, with the clear, shining dignity of legend or song; Tsukiyama lends her voice to figures of women emboldened by their dream of growth and personal power.
Set in rural China in 1926, this story tells how a group of exploited silk-workers lead the first strike for better conditions than their village has ever seen. The women combine their courage and strength to achieve the freedom they could never have hoped for on their own.
