The Sojourn Teashop by Jia Pingwa
The Sisterhood meets every morning in Hai Ruos teashop to discuss life, love, careers and everything that gets in the way of happiness. Hai Ruo strives to keep the sisterhood together and seeks spiritual intervention to provide answers, but the cracks grow wider as pressure closes in."…Jia Pingwa is meticulous as a miniaturistCharacters are lovingly flawed and human; they seem swept up in a wider ambivalence about the direction Chinese society is headed."
"The translation by Nicky Harman and Jun Liu is lucid and thoughtful."
-Ronán Hession, The Irish Times
