Synopsis

This is a lyrical, magical novel rich with poetry, folklore and elements of fairytale. Larissa Lai weaves three narrative voices and their cultures: an elusive fox approaching her 1000th birthday, a ninth century chinese poet/nun and Artemis, a young-Asian American woman living in current-day Vancouver. With poetic prose the writer combines Chinese mythology, sexual politics and today's world into a haunting tale. First published in 1995, this new edition features a new forward.
