Three Sisters

عن الكتاب

Three sisters struggle to change the course of their destinies in a China that does not belong to them. Yumi uses her dignity, Yuxiu her seductive charms, and Yuyang her desire for success. This breathtaking story vividly captures the all-consuming desire for power in a citizenry obsessed with ‘saving face’ – whatever the costs. Whether it’s in the village of the Wang family, where life is attuned to the rhythm of work in the fields and the slogans of the Cultural Revolution, or in urban China of the 1980s, the sisters are not prepared to be just another wave in the ‘infinite ocean of people’. Through the public humiliations and private aspirations of three very different women, Bi Feiyu paints an epic portrayal of life in modern China.
