About the book:
A true classic by a Nobel Prize-winning author! With remarkable subtlety, this novel portrays, through the relationship of a young married couple, the clash between two seemingly opposing worlds – the East, where a woman is expected to remain as silent as a flower, and the West, where her voice is heard with strength and resonance. Written in the first person as the confession of a traditional Chinese woman, raised not to expect or desire anything beyond pleasing her husband, the novel depicts both cultures with equal respect and affection, ultimately convincing the reader of the inevitable synthesis of these two worlds.
