Bereft of song, the boy finally learns to speak, then learns to turn the words of others into music on paper. The processes of mimicry and extrapolation result in an extended poetic suite that invents legends as well as a mythical conflict involving the imperialism of languages. The music child's extraordinary talents are matched by those of the young mahjong queen who can't be beaten in the game since the angels of her youth speak through her fingers. Around them, foreign friends and relations representing former colonizers provide a framework of discovery, while themselves dancing to the historic chorus of destiny in the magical East. The music child and the mahjong queen endear themselves to one another through the palpable vocabulary of flowers." -- from publisher's website 500 $a Novel. 546 $a In English. 650 0 $a Gifted children $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Philippine fiction (English) $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Philippine literature (English) $y 21st century. 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240320012019.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=425F9D60E67F11EE94C7D61345ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
