When Italian citizen Roberto G. Ferrari embarked on a journey to
adopt a young Chinese boy, the twenty-five days the adoptive father
spent there offered him a rare insider's vantage of the famously
closed country during an intensely intimate time for his family. To
process the experience, the adoptive father chronicled those days
in China, exploring the country through the deeply personal lens of
his son's connection to his homeland. Ferrari also took in China
from the perspective of a Westerner attempting to make sense of
this burgeoning global power. Both reflective and informative,
Ferrari's detailed account of the adoption process takes in modern
China as it increasingly opens its doors to the Western world. In
doing so, "Away from China" offers invaluable practical guidance on
the international adoption process, as well as the author's insight
on key locales in the country from the point of view of a seasoned
traveler. From the monuments of Taiyuan to Tienanmen Square, "Away
from China" considers this fascinating, rapidly changing nation for
an adoptive father and his Chinese son.
