Composed of several interconnected stories, each taking place in a year ending with the number six, ironically a number that in Chinese divination signifies "a smooth life," Dear Chrysanthemums is a novel about the scourge of inhumanity, survival, and past trauma that never leaves. The women in these stories are cooks, musicians, dancers, protesters, mothers and daughters, friends and enemies, all inexplicably connected in one way or another." -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Asians $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 1 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230603010146.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F411850001D311EEACDD33752EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
