Rock 'n' roll, revolution, and romance are seductively woven together in this intense and moving novel from the author of Twenty Fragments of a Ravenous Youth
In her flat in north London, Iona Kirkpatrick sets to work on a new project translating a collection of letters and diaries by a Chinese musician. With each letter and journal entry, Iona becomes more and more intrigued with the unfolding story of two lovers: Jian, a punk rocker who believes there is no art without political commitment, and Mu, the young woman he loves as fiercely as his ideals.
Iona cannot possibly know that Jian is mere miles away in Dover, awaiting the uncertain fate of a political exile. Mu is still in Beijing, writing letters to London and desperately trying to track Jian down. As Iona charts the course of their twenty-year relationship, from its early beginnings at Beijing University to Jian’s defiant march in the Jasmine Revolution, her own empty life takes on an urgent purpose: to bring Jian and Mu together again before it’s too late.

评分中国的文革历史是西方读者比较感兴趣的话题。作者借一个寻求英国政治庇护的中国摇滚乐手的家庭故事和爱情传奇,来重温这个话题。甚至于这个乐手的家庭背景与中国某重要领导人后代关联,以至于这个故事变得更加吸引人吗?对于文革这个话题,个人不是那么的喜欢,所以对整本小说的写作初衷和动机更是表示质疑。
