Produktbeskrivning
Constantly bickering with her shallow friend Brow, beginning correspondence courses she will never finish, helping sage-like Grandpa Cloud Forest with his mystical healing and stealthily avoiding matrimony with her less-than-impressive fiancé Old Ran, Plum''s life appears to be puttering along what seems like a tediously predictable path.
But when the village home she cherishes comes under threat from big city capitalists, she finds herself thrust into a series of adventures with a mercurial rogue called Chivalry.
Jia Pingwa''s The Earthen Gate was an instant bestseller in his native China and now looks set to make waves in its first-ever English translation, two decades laterThis raucous, and at times achingly poignant tale combines earthy humour, ancient wisdom and thrilling action to highlight the impact of creeping urbanisation on traditional country folk.
