A beautiful first printing in fine condition. Pages clean, crisp, and unmarked throughout — fresh and unread in appearance. Boards unmarked. Dust jacket clean and unmarked. When Chinese-American ghostwriter Ruth Young arranges to have her elderly mother LuLing's Chinese-language memoir translated, she uncovers the story of LuLing's early life in a small village near Peking — and the tragic secrets surrounding Precious Auntie, the daughter of a famed bonesetter whose legacy shaped everything LuLing became. The novel was later adapted into an opera that premiered at the San Francisco Opera in 2008. This copy is available to international customers through AbeBooks.com, as Kathrin’s Books currently ships within Canada only.
