9789622013810 - Borrowed Tongue von Tao Yang (2 Ergebnisse)

216pp, paperback, minor soiling wrappers. This is the story of a Chinese exile confronting her past, seeking the origins of her contradictions and nightmares. the clues lead backwards, to her family and to China, to a past that is as much an obsession as a legacy, to a truth that can only be revealed by questions a daughter is not supposed to ask. She has left behind her family home in Soochow and the mother who perhaps never wanted her, and is now something of a foreigner even to herself - foreign culture, foreign personality, foreign children. She questions her family ghosts and explores her childhood memories - in a borrowed tongue.
