The novel covers a tumultuous era in Chinese history beginning in 1937 and ending in 1941.

It explores the circumstances surrounding the true-life event of Kwei’s grandmother's gift of a concubine to her grandfather on his birthday. This is also a story of family solidarity and feminine heroism in times of war and destruction.

“An engaging family saga by a talented storyteller. Kwei details Chinese traditions and the fascinating but evanescent world as only someone steeped in the old ways could. An adept stylist and storyteller, Kwei weaves with simplicity this tale of upper-class China in upheaval.” - Kirkus Review.
