On the night of the Tiananmen Square massacre, a woman gives birth
alone in a Beijing hospital. So begins the slow unravelling of Su
Lan: a woman determined to remake herself, an ambitious physicist
and ambivalent mother who becomes consumed by her research into
disproving the irreversibility of time. Following Su Lan's sudden
death, her daughter Liya travels from the US to China to try to
understand the silences and ghosts her mother left behind. Adrift
in a country she doesn't know, Liya begins to piece together how
her mother's obsessive desire to erase her own past has marked the
lives of those around her, and Liya's own.
