Description

Dragonfly Eyes by Wenxuan Cao is a poignant and powerful story about the unbreakable bond between two women. In 1960s Shanghai, Ah-Mei and her grandmother Nainai face numerous challenges due to racism, war, and economic hardship. Despite these difficulties, their relationship provides them with strength and resilience. The silk business that has been the family's livelihood falters, leaving them with almost nothing. However, Ah-Mei and Nainai are resourceful and rely on each other for support. Their tender moments together bring them great comfort in a time of turmoil. This heartwarming story explores themes of love, loyalty, and survival in the face of adversity.
