Village of Stone
by Xiaolu - £8.99 Vintage (2005)
paperback
ISBN 13: 9780099459071 | ISBN 10: 0099459078
Village of Stone brilliantly evokes the harshness of life on the typhoon-battered coast of China, where fishermen are often lost to violent seas and children regularly swept away.
It is the beautiful, haunting story of one little girl's struggle to endure silence, solitude and the shame of sexual absuse, but it is also an incisive portrait of China's new urban youth, who have hidden behind their modern lifestyle all the poverty and cruelty of their past.
"Exquisitely written and intricately constructed."
