At the center of this epic story are two young women, Marie and Ai-Ming. Through their relationship Marie strives to piece together the tale of her fractured family in present-day Vancouver, seeking answers in the fragile layers of their collective story. Her quest will unveil how Kai, her enigmatic father, a talented pianist, and Ai-Ming's father, the shy and brilliant composer, Sparrow, along with the violin prodigy Zhuli were forced to reimagine their artistic and private selves during China's political campaigns and how their fates reverberate through the years with lasting consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith maturity and sophistication, humor and beauty, Thien has crafted a novel that is at once intimate and grandly political, rooted in the details of life inside China yet transcendent in its universality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003ePaperback | 480 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (cm):\u003c\/strong\u003e 21.5 x 13.5 x 3.4 | 596g -\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 01 Aug 2016\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/strong\u003eGranta Publications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication City\/Country: \u003c\/strong\u003eLondon, United Kingdom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition Number: \u003c\/strong\u003e1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN10: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1783782668\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e9781783782666\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA book that has been read but is in good condition.
