Praise

“[Shen Fuyu’s] prose is steeped in contagious nostalgia, and he employs the universal language of emigration and exile, writing, ‘I am now an orphan, lost in the big city.'”
—Farah Abdessamad, The Atlantic

Beautifully written, with an almost mythic tone, each of these vignettes captures a piece of village life and custom during a tumultuous century in Chinese history.”
Booklist

“A Marcel Pagnol of provincial China in a beautifully accessible translation.”
Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

Awards
