The first time, to end his marriage, and the second, when he took his own life. I was ten years old."Master storyteller Madeleine Thien takes us inside an extended family in China, showing us the lives of two successive generations--those who lived through Mao's Cultural Revolution and their children, who became the students protesting in Tiananmen Square. At the center of this epic story are two young women, Marie and Ai-Ming. Through their relationship Marie strives to piece together the tale of her fractured family in present-day Vancouver, seeking answers in the fragile layers of their collective story. Her quest will unveil how Kai, her enigmatic father, a talented pianist, and Ai-Ming's father, the shy and brilliant composer, Sparrow, along with the violin prodigy Zhuli, were forced to reimagine their artistic and private selves during China's political campaigns and how their fates reverberate through the years with lasting consequences. 500 $a Novel. 546 $a Portuguese translation from the English. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 650 0 $a Families $z China $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Intergenerational relations $v Fiction. 651 0 $a China $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 830 0 $a FicçoÌes (ReloÌgio d'Agua (Publisher)) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317024506.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B2AA481CCF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
