She finds herself adrift, but her husband seems reluctant for a child of their own. It takes the arrival of her mother-in-law, together with sudden strange parcels and stranger dreams, to shake Song Yan from her malaise. Summoned to an ancient house in the heart of the city, can she find the notes she needs to make sense of the pain and beauty in her life?

Reviews / Votes
An intriguing book that knits together music and life to touch on something profound * Guardian * Vivid descriptions of contemporary Beijing ... Yu writes in clear, unadorned prose and deftly threads the magic-realist elements through the main narrative * Financial Times * Transporting, searching and poetic * List * This playful, often surreal novel packs in plenty ... an elusive tale, steeped in atmosphere * Mail on Sunday * Ghost Music has beautiful prose and claustrophobic imagery that intensely evokes its protagonist's alienation * New Statesman * Spellbinding and atmospheric . . . With its quiet, dreamy bending of reality and its precise depiction of many different strains of alienation, Ghost Music is an evocative exploration of what it means to live fully-and the potential consequences of failing to do so. Yu braids the mundane and the magical together with a gentle hand . . . There's something here of early Murakami's graceful, open-ended approach to the uncanny, as well as the vivid yet muted emotionality of Patrick Modiano or Katie Kitamura. Like these skillful portraitists of alienation, Yu conjures a visceral inbetweenness where the worlds of matter and spirit meet in a shared, suspended space -- Alexandra Kleeman * New York Times Book Review * Startlingly original * Guardian on BRAISED PORK * Intensely atmospheric * LA Review of Books on BRAISED PORK * Otherwordly and deeply moving * BuzzFeed on BRAISED PORK * Real magic * LitHub on BRAISED PORK *More details
