In this "equally beguiling sequel to his acclaimed memoir,
Colors of the Mountain" (Kirkus Reviews), teenager Da Chen takes
his first train ride away from the farm he was raised on to his new
university life in Beijing. He soon faces a host of ghastly
challenges, including poor living conditions, lack of food, and
suicidal roommates. Undaunted by these hurdles, and armed with a
dogged determination to learn English and "all things Western," he
competes to win a chance to study in America -- a chance that rests
in the shrewd and corrupt hands of the almighty professors.
Poetic, hilarious, and heartbreaking, "Sounds of the River" is a
gloriously written coming-of-age saga that chronicles a remarkable
journey -- a travelogue of the heart.
