Résumé

A finely wrought coming-of-age novel, and the story of a bond between two very different girls in modern China

February Flowers Résumé

February Flowers Fan Wu

Seventeen-year-old Ming and twenty-four-year-old Yan have very little in common: Ming, innocent and preoccupied, lives in her own world of books, music and imagination; Yan is, by contrast, sexy but cynical, beautiful but wild. She uses her looks to get what she wants from the many men in her life.

When the two girls meet and become best friends, Ming's world is changed forever. She is attracted to Yan's free-spirit, while Yan yearns for the kind of stability Ming's seriousness can bring. But their differences in upbringing and ideologies ultimately drive them apart, leaving each to face her own dark secret alone.

February Flowers is an insightful meditation on forbidden love, loss and redemption, and how a background shapes a life.

`An original and unforgettable story . . . brimming with passion, vitality, and hope' XINRAN, author of The Good Women of China

February Flowers Avis

"An exquisitely beautiful book about that uncertain border between girlhood and womanhood, between passion and desire, a country only too familiar to all women. Fan Wu's story swept me away."--Sandra Cisneros, author of The House on Mango Street" ""A first novel whose psychic terrain is the hinterland between girlhood and womanhood, lust and love, tradition and progress . . . subtle and deftly paced... [it is] ultimately a story about sheer awakening."--"The Observer "(UK) "An original and unforgettable story. Just like the flowers referred to in the title, Fan Wu's novel is brimming with passion, vitality, and hope. The girls in this book are the daughters and granddaughters of The Good Women of China, and are products of the society both modern, expansive, and communistically introvert."--Xinran, author of The Good Women of China" ""February Flowers" "enters the past as it was lived, in real-time and without the props of hindsight. . . . Compelling."--"Financial Times "(UK) "From the Hardcover edition."
