90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books \'But how sweet a fruit the \'suppose\' must be, that people will sup and sup on it! A juicy fruit, like a lychee but without the pit, sparkling and light green- a fruit that hides the tart within the sweet.\' In this haunting collection of stories, a young man\'s obsession leads to tragedy and a woman\'s bitterness poisons a family\'s legacy. In delicate, piercing prose, Chang captures a world of quiet cruelties and calamitous desires in pre-revolutionary China.
