"A riveting story of cultures and generations colliding on a backwater Chinese campus, evoking the stillness and suspense of Paul Bowles and Graham Greene. Here is a welcome, novel take on China."
--Michael Meyer, author of The Road to Sleeping Dragon, In Manchuria and The Last Days of Old Beijing |
"We've been waiting a long time for the novel that captures the foreign-teacher-in-China experience, and Quincy Carroll has written it. I recommend it to both new arrivals in China and jaded cynics."
--Alec Ash, author of Wish Lanterns: Young Lives in New China |
