Description
From one of the great Chinese authors of the twentieth century, these newly translated stories illuminate the most intimate matters of the human heart
Since childhood, Ruliang has sketched the same face in the margins of his books, tracing its lines without knowing why. Years later, he meets Cynthia - and recognises it at once. As their lives draw together and drift apart, what once seemed like fate begins to feel more uncertain. In these brief, evocative stories, Eileen Chang traces the pull of memory, love and chance.
Includes the stories: Young at the Time, Blossoms Afloat, Flowers Adrift and Those Old Schoolmates They're All Quite Classy Now
BRIEF ENCOUNTERS: classic novellas and captivating stories, to be read in a single sitting or savoured over days
