«Sprightly... the comedy is neatly poised... a damning portrait of totalitarian China»
«Guo's humour is bracingly ironic and tinderbox dry»
«A fast moving, barbed polemic...a sharp little book in which the legacy of the Cultural Revolution shimmers and festers... A writer to read, a writer who makes every word count»
«A breath of the freshest air imaginable. She cuts through the smog of hype and platitude»
«The novel resonates in revelations of loss and pain»
Xiaolu Guo was born in south China. She studied at the Beijing Film Academy and published six books in China before moving
to London in 2002. Her books include Village of Stone which was shortlisted for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize, A Concise
Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers which was shortlisted for the Orange Prize, 20 Fragments of a Ravenous Youth which was
longlisted for the Man Asian Literary Prize, and I Am China which was longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction. Her recent
memoir, Once Upon a Time in the East, won the National Book Critics Circle Award, was shortlisted for the Costa Biography
Award, the Jhalak Prize and the Rathbones Folio Award 2018, and was a Sunday Times Book of the Year.
In 2013 Xiaolu was named as one of Granta's Best of Young British Novelists. She has directed several award-winning films including She, A Chinese, and documentaries about China and Britain.
