90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books ´But how sweet a fruit the ´suppose´ must be, that people will sup and sup on it! A juicy fruit, like a lychee but without the pit, sparkling and light green- a fruit that hides the tart within the sweet.´ In this haunting collection of stories, a young man´s obsession leads to tragedy and a woman´s bitterness poisons a family´s legacy. In delicate, piercing prose, Chang captures a world of quiet cruelties and calamitous desires in pre-revolutionary China.
