River East, River West

by Aube Rey Lescure

**LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2024**

Qingdao, 1985: newlywed Lu Fang works as a lowly shipping clerk. Though he aspires to a bright future, he is one of many casualties of harsh political reforms. Then China opens up to foreigners and capital, and Lu Fang meets a woman who makes him question what he should settle for...
