In the latest adventure from Yun Rou, author of the best-selling thriller A Cure for Gravity, an American faces down a heady concoction of reincarnation, magical wasps and violence to save his Chinese wife, while in a parallel world in ancient China, an astonishing woman single-handedly keeps a world of warriors at bay. This is literary magical realism with an Asian twist, and an intimate portrait of madness and love. Yun Rou has been called the "Zen Gabriel Garcia-Marquez" for his works of magical realism.
