Prizewinning Yan Lianke returns with a campus novel like no other following a young Buddhist as she journeys through worldly temptation<BR><BR>Yahui is a young Buddhist at university. But this is no ordinary university. It is populated by every faith in China: Buddhists, Daoists, Catholics, Protestants and Muslims who jostle alongside one another in the corridors of learning, and whose deities are never far from the classroom.<BR><BR>Her days are measured out making elaborate religious papercuts, taking part in highly charged tug-of-war competitions between the faiths and trying to resist the daily temptation to return to secular life and abandon the ascetic ideals that are her calling. Everything seems to dangle by a thread. But when she meets a Daoist student called Mingzheng, an inexorable romance of mythic proportions takes hold of her.<BR><BR>** Beautiful edition illustrated throughout with beautiful original papercuts **<BR><BR>'One of China's greatest living authors' Guardian<BR><BR>'His talent cannot be ignored' New York Times<BR><BR>'China's foremost literary satirist' Financial Times
