Description
Lin Kong has been waiting for eighteen years. Each summer, he returns to his village to end his loveless arranged marriage with Shuyu, but he must also tell Manna Wu, the educated nurse he loves, that they will have to postpone their engagement once again. Caught between two very different women and trapped by a culture in which adultery can ruin lives and careers, Lin has been torn apart by conflicting demands. This novel of unexpected richness and universal resonance explores the complexities of human longing and the weight of centuries-old custom. Ha Jin's masterful storytelling brings to life a world where tradition and modernity collide, and where one man must navigate the impossible choices between two very different paths. Published in 2024, Waiting is a powerful exploration of love, loyalty, and the human condition.
