Award-winning American author Ha Jin tells in a grand development novel with poignant power about the fate of a Chinese family in the United States and man's search for love and the right place in life. Chinese student Nan Wu and his wife Pingping decide in the summer of 1989, shortly after the events on Tiananmen Square, to stay in the USA and start a new life there. It should only be a study visit, but with each year in the States, anger on the political conditions in the distant home increases. Finally, they can now also get their six-year-old son Taotao, who quickly gets used to the new environment. But Nan dreams of being a great poet and has it much harder: he plagues guilt towards his wife, whom he feels connected more solidarily than in love, because he cannot forget his youth friend Beina; also heavy is the responsibility to allow his family a safe live. Over twelve years, we accompany readers the everyday life of the Wu family, their daily struggle for home, love and happiness. Side by side, they grow to our heart because our own dreams are reflected in theirs.
