About this Item
Blue paper-covered boards with yellow backstrip and blue lettering. Thin line of sun to upper edges of boards. Mild bump to head and heel of spine. Price clipped DJ shows rubbing and small closed tears to edges, tiny chips to head and heel of spine. Lovely cover art by Lili Cassel. Set in Callifornia. Chiang Fu, a refugee from Communist China, lives in Monterey, where he is a language instructor. He falls hopelessly in love with Aika, a beautiful Japanese divorcée who has learned to dread love, marriage and even life itself, and has taken up a career as a "sideline girl." This is a book of pathos and passion, written in a charming and unusual stype. It takes the reader to the colorful San Francisco Chinatown, to quiet but sinful Kearny Street, to flirtatious Monterey, to serene Pacific Grove and sophisticated Carmel, and above all, to an emotional battlefield where an unforgettable love story unfolds."
