Wild Ginger - Softcover

Wild Ginger is an intense love story set against the brutal backdrop of China's Cultural Revolution. Maple sees her school friend Wild Ginger transform herself from outcast to the star of the Little Red Guards. In a time and place where sexual relations are taboo (deemed counter-revolutionary and punishable by imprisonment or exile), the passionately Maoist Wild Ginger denies her desire for the handsome and charming Evergreen. But Maple is less attached to the dictats of the Red Guard and sets her sights on him.
