Binu and the Great Wall: The Myth of Meng (Myths) - Hardcover
In Peach village, crying is forbidden. But as a child, Binu never learned to hide her tears. Shunned by the villagers, she faced a bleak future until she met Qiliang, an orphan who offered her his hand in marriage. Then, one day, Qiliang disappears. Binu learns that he has been transported hundreds of miles and forced to labor on a project of terrifying ambition and scale - the building of the Great Wall. Binu is determined to find and save her husband. Inspired by her love, she sets out on an extraordinary journey toward Great Swallow Mountain with only a blind frog for company. A beautiful retelling of the seminal Chinese myth, Su Tong's rich prose and representation of society and nature result in an unforgettable story of passion, hardship, and magical adventure.
