Jasmine Tea

<''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.<>
