A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

When six-year-old Taotao is sent by her mother to live with her grandparents, her whole world seems to have fallen apart. Only in later years does she learn of her mother's secret pain - her own father's fall from grace in the Cultural Revolution - and come to understand the sacrifice she has made for her daughter. STARTLING MOON looks back to a past of rich but suppressed tradition, and forward to a very different China. Above all, it is the story of Taotao's quest to know her own heart: of the joys and responsibilites of friendship, the pain of first love, and the blossoming of a passion which will lead her to risk all that she holds dear.

Revue de presse

'All the fears, friendships, insecurities and passions of a coming-of-age tale are here, but this is a unique story told wih a sweetness and restraint that is both beguiling and illuminating' Woman's Journal

'Fascinating and very sympathetically presented' Independent

Written in English, STARTLING MOON is a vivid story of political turmoil and furtive romance, and is well worth reading by ayone interested in what it's like growing up in modern China (Highbury and Islington Express)
