Startling Moon - Hong Liu - 2001

DESCRIPTION

311 pages. Covers have no creasing. Corners of covers are lightly bumped. Spine has minimal reading creases. Pages are reasonably tanned. 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 responsibilities of friendship, the pain of first love, and the blossoming of a passion which will lead her to risk all that she holds dear.
