    About this ebook

    Longlisted for the Man Asian Literary Prize A modern Chinese classic

    Sisters Tiao and Fan grew up in the shadow of the Cultural Revolution.

    They witnessed immense suffering, including the death of their baby sister in a tragic accident. It was an accident they could have prevented; an accident that will stay with them forever.

    In the China of the 1990s the sisters lead seemingly successful lives.

    Tiao is a successful children’s publisher but incapable of finding love. Fan has moved to America, desperate to shun her Chinese heritage. Then there is their childhood friend Fei: beautiful, hedonistic and outwardly ambitious.

    As the women grapple with love, rivalry and past secrets will they find the freedom and redemption they crave?

    Spellbinding, unforgettable, and an important chronicle of modern China, The Bathing Women is a powerful and beautiful portrait of the strength of female friendship in the face of adversity.
