In this sprawling, award-winning novel, celebrated Chinese writer
Liu Xinwu cordially invites you to an epic, riotous, and moving
neighborhood feast. On a December morning in 1982, the courtyard of
a Beijing siheyuan-a lively quadrangle of homes-begins to stir.
Auntie Xue's son Jiyue is getting married today, and she is
determined to make the day a triumph. Despite Jiyue's woeful
ignorance in matters of the heart-and the body. Despite a chef in
training tasked with the onerous responsibility of preparing the
banquet. With a cross-generational multitude of guests, from
anxious family members to a fretful bridal party-not to mention
exasperating friends, interfering neighbors, and wedding
crashers-what will the day ahead bring? Set at a pivotal point
after the turmoil of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, Liu Xinwu's
tale weaves together a rich tapestry of characters, intertwined
lives, and stories within stories. The Wedding Party is a touching,
hilarious portrait of life in this singular city, all packed into a
Beijing courtyard on a single day that manages to be both perfectly
normal and utterly extraordinary at the same time.
