Mistress Miao

In the latest adventure from Yun Rou, author of the best-selling thriller A Cure for Gravity, a Westerner faces down a heady concoction of reincarnation, magical wasps and violence to save his Chinese wife, while in a parallel world in ancient China, an astonishing woman single-handedly keeps marauding warriors at bay. This is literary magical realism with an Asian twist, and an intimate portrait of madness and love from a writer who spans East and West in a myriad ways.
