About This Item
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., 2004. First Edition . Hardcover. Fine/Fine. A pristine book. "Ive been reading and marveling . . . Her characters are so alive that one can hardly call them characters. Blondie, Mama Wong, Carnegie, Lizzy, Wendy, and, oh, Lan! I didnt want to part from them: here is a novel so insightful, so satisfying, that it ought never to have ended. The interlude in China, the ingenuity of the narration, the tenderness, the all-observing comedy, the darker elements, the perfect-pitch dialogue, the domestic exactitude, the surprises! Having lived for a time (too brief a time) with Gishs people as with ones own family, one comes to love them."-- Cynthia Ozick
