A fragmented contemplation on the essence of love
Guardian
A Chinese woman arrives in post-Brexit London to begin a new chapter in her life, coinciding with the height of the Brexit campaign. Loneliness and isolation set in as she finds herself in a Britain that becomes increasingly hostile towards foreigners. In this desolate setting, she meets a landscape architect, and together they forge a future filled with hope.
Through playful language and the cultural nuances the narrator encounters as she adapts to her new life, the lovers navigate their differences and their romantic relationship, whether aboard their unsteady houseboat or in a cramped apartment in east London. This intimate novel brims with a delightful sense of humor, delving into the profound question of creating a home and a family in a foreign land.
