Critically acclaimed author and political satirist Xu Xiaobin masterfully weaves the stunning and heartbreaking story of a girl. v named Yu through the lives of her grandmother, mother, sisters, and nieces.
Born to a resentful mother and an indifferent father, Yu discovers at a tender age that her parents do not love her.
By the time her baby brother is born, the rebellious and withdrawn six-year-old commits an unthinkable crime.
Forced to leave her family, Yu begins a lifelong quest for love.
She is fragile but resilient, lonely but determined.
Yet each time she thinks she has come close, she is abandoned.
Now, as she is caught up in the political storm of the 1980s, Yu’s last chance at getting what she desires will finally come at a tragic cost.
Hailed by critics as a Chinese One Hundred Years of Solitude and a twenty-first century Crime and Punishment, Feathered Serpent flawlessly blurs reality and illusion into a unique and powerful tale that readers will never forget.
