简介

In a small village in China, the Wang family has produced seven sisters in its quest to have a boy; three of the sisters emerge as the lead characters in this remarkable novel. From the small-town treachery of the village to the slogans of the Cultural Revolution to the harried pace of 1980s Beijing, Bi Feiyu follows the women as they strive to change the course of their destinies and battle against an "infinite ocean of people" in a China that does not truly belong to them. Yumi will use her dignity, Yuxiu her powers of seduction, and Yuyang her ambition--all in an effort to take control of their world, their bodies, and their lives. Like Dai Sijie's "Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress," "Arthur Golden's Memoirs of a Geisha," and J. G. Ballard's "Empire of the Sun," "Three Sisters" transports us to and immerses us in a culture we think we know but will understand much more fully by the time we reach the end. Bi's "Moon Opera" was praised by the "Los Angeles Times," the "Minneapolis Star Tribune," and other publications. In one review Lisa See said: "I hope this is the first of many of Bi's works to come to us." "Three Sisters" fulfills that wish, with its irreplaceable portrait of contemporary Chinese life and indelible story of its three tragic and sometimes triumphant heroines.
