A juicy fruit, like a lychee but without the pit, sparkling and light green: a fruit that hides the tart within the sweet.In this haunting collection of stories, a young mans obsession leads to tragedy and a womans bitterness poisons a familys legacy. In delicate, piercing prose, Chang captures a world of quiet cruelties and calamitous desires in pre-revolutionary China.
