Even when Phoenix got married, Rain, who followed her from China to Toronto, came to share Phoenix's life. Now at the age of eighty-three, Rain's unexpected death ushers in a heartrending separation. Struggling with the loss, Phoenix comes across her mother's suitcase, a memory box Rain had brought from home. Inside, Phoenix finds two old photographs and a decorative bottle holding a crystallized powder. Her auntie Mei tells her these missing pieces of her mother's early life can only be explained when they meet, and so, clutching her mother's ashes, Phoenix boards a plane for China. What at first seems like a daughter's quest to uncover a mother's secrets becomes a startling journey of self-discovery. Told across decades and continents, Zhang Ling's exquisite novel is a tale of extraordinary courage and survival. It illuminates the resilience of humanity, the brutalities of life, the secrets we keep and those we share, and the driving forces it takes to survive. 941 $a 4 952 $l FWPE284 $d 20240611031135.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230808011439.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20230801011149.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230621011241.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EFF6E9780FF811EEB73DD90627ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
