Zustand: FINE. First US printing. The first novel by this Singapore born, Canadian writer - in it, four narrators tell two stories, one that of a contemporary Chinese-Canadian psychologist mourning the death of her father, another of two Chinese prostitutes in early 20th-century Singapore. The novel opens just after Wu Lan's father has committed suicide at his home in Singapore, and Wu Lan has had a breakdown after returning from the funeral. To distract herself, she begins researching the sex trade in Singapore. Three other women are given voices in this novel: Lee Ah Choi, sold into prostitution by her parents for three sacks of rice; Chow Chat Mui, who fled her father's sexual abuse only to find herself tricked into prostitution; and finally Mahmee, Wu Lan's mother, who is grieving over her husband's death and her separation from her daughter. SIGNED on the title page. 218 pp. Fine in fine dust jacket. Artikel-Nr. 82222
