| Abstract
|
:
|
"Set in southern China in the mid 1860s, this is the story of a French explorer-scientist and a young Chinese woman who meet during a cholera outbreak and fall in love. The grasshopper shoe, depicted within her prized porcelain bowl, acts as a powerful metaphor for life and the motives behind actions."--Publisher's website.
