The latest novel from Orange Prize finalist Xiaolu Guo is the
enchantingly comic story of a young Chinese woman's life as a film
extra in hyper-modern, tumultuous Beijing.
Though twenty-one-year-old Fenfang Wang has traveled 1,800 miles to
seek her fortune in urban Beijing, she is ill-prepared for what
greets her: a Communist regime that has outworn its welcome, a city
in slap-dash development, and a sexist attitude more in keeping
with her peasant upbringing than the country's progressive capital.
But after mastering the fever and tumult of the city, Fenfang
ultimately finds her true independence in the one place she never
expected.
