"Yen Mah draws these parallels gracefully...readers are treated to a nice dim sum of historical insight."--San Francisco Chronicle
A Thousand Pieces of Gold, following Watching the Tree and Falling Leaves, is a personal account by a much loved author, but it is also a lively history of the fascinating period of civilisation when Europe was barely out of the stone age.
