This novel tells the story of three people whose lives are overshadowed by the poisoning of a political activist and who seem only to want to forget. It serves as an allegory to the aftermath of Tiananmen Square and the subsequent forgetting of that political event in the turning to a more capitalist China. The descriptions of the lives of the two women in the US are too long and serve no purpose. Overall, disappointing.
