"Engrossing.... a terrifically entertaining novel."--Irish Times In the early 20th century China is a land undergoing a momentous social and cultural shift with a thousand-year-old empire crumbling and the nation on the brink of modernity. Against this backdrop a quiet man from the North embarks on a perilous journey to a Southern city in the grip of a savage snowstorm. He carries with him a newborn baby: he is looking for the child's mother and a city that isn't there. This is a story of two people: a man who finds unexpected success after having journeyed to the hometown of the woman who abandoned him and the woman he is searching for who mysteriously disappeared to embark on her own eventful journey. This is a story about vanished crafts and ancient customs about violence love and friendship. Above all it's a story about change and about storytelling itself full of vivid characters and surprising twists-an epic tale as inexorable as time itself and as gripping as a classic adventure story.
