Grace Hoffmeier is overweight, bored with her marriage to dust-dry scientist Walter, and tired of the sanitised surroundins of her American east coast life. Then, she embarks on an eye-opening trip to China, and its fire and light illuminate for her paths old and new, and the possibility of a new life in a new kingdom.
"This novel's great strength is its meticulous and humane demonstration that what we think of as alien is often only what we choose to regard in this way. Grace falls in love with China and it's people: a love that is utterly alien to Walter, when she finally reveals it... Barrett has the ability to look at what is outside herself and reveal it exactly, without ever making it familiar or comfortable. She jolts Grace out of her 'safe as soap life, and she jolts the readers too."
