"A haunting first novel written with the craft and grace of a master. Don't miss it!"

——Isabel Allende

"Greenway is a remarkable young writer who vividly evokes Hong Kong's sights, smells, and sounds . . . in poetic, finely detailed prose. What's more, she seems to have remembered every single charged emotion from adolescence and filters them all through the sisters' fierce, complex relationship. A heartbreakingly beautiful debut."
