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