[EAN: 9780007196647], Used, very good, [SC: 2.8], [PU: HarperCollins Publishers, United Kingdom, London], YIYUN LI THE VAGRANTS, The much-anticipated first novel from the Guardian First Book Award-winning Chinese writer acclaimed by Michel Faber as having the talent, the vision and the respect for life's insoluble mysteries to be a truly fine writer. In the provincial town of Muddy Waters in China, a young woman named Gu Shan is sentenced to death for her loss of faith in Communism. She is twenty-eight years old and has already spent ten years in prison. The citizens stage a protest after her death and, over the following six weeks, the town goes through uncertainty, hope, and fear until eventually the rebellion is brutally suppressed. We follow the pain of Gu Shan's parents, the hope and fear of the leaders of the protest and their families. Even those who seem unconnected to the tragedy an eleven-year-old boy seeking fame and glory, a nineteen-year-old village idiot in love with a young and deformed girl, and old couple making a living by scavenging the town's garbage cans are caught up in remorseless turn of events. Yiyun Li's novel is based on the true story which took place in China in 1979. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.
