- Book Synopsis
- Guangqin is a lonely girl, ignored by her ageing father and older half-siblings as she entertains herself in the dilapidated courtyard of her once-illustrious, storied family home in 1950s Beijing. The highlight of her year is a summer visit to the remote village home of her mother's childhood friend, where she enjoys balmy days and sleepless nights in the company of a yellow dog and a boy named Sunny. In her autobiographical novel, Ye Guangqin creates a poignant vista of chirping weasels, rural feasts and crumbling shrines as she invites readers to join her on a journey of discovery to the Sun Palace.
- About The Author
- Ye Guangqin was born in Beijing in 1948. At the age of twenty, she was seconded to work as a nurse in the western city of Xi'an. It was here that she developed a fascination with the fauna and villagers of the Qinling Mountains. A full-time writer since the 1990s, her novel Greenwood Riverside was shortlisted for the Mao Dun Literary Prize before being adapted into a television serial.
