Description
A single year, my father left us twice. The first time, to end his marriage, and the second, when he took his own life. I was ten years old. This is the story of two generations of a Chinese family, whose lives were forever changed by the tumultuous years of Mao's Cultural Revolution. At the heart of this epic tale are two young women, Marie and Ai-Ming, who are connected by a complex web of family secrets and artistic passions. Marie's quest to understand her fractured family's past leads her to uncover the stories of her father and Ai-Ming's father, two men who were forced to reimagine their artistic and private selves during China's political campaigns. Their fates, intertwined with those of other musicians and artists, continue to reverberate through the years with lasting consequences.
