Illustrated by
Jonathan T. Russell.
As were First Apple, Water Ghost, and Lichee Tree, this fourth novel featuring spirited heroine Ying is rich with cultural details of 1940s rural China. Now eleven, Ying faces an arranged marriage and separation from her ailing grandmother, who has raised her. A somewhat overlong chase sequence and an anticlimactic tying up of loose ends won't detract too much from readers' interest in Ying's fate. Glos.
