Editorial Reviews

"Branches is a novella about kindred relationship, personal development, love, and dull pain. It shows the complicated and varied forms of possession and hurt in love. Emcompassing several generations of Chinese people living in different countries, presenting the fates of characters while bringing history and humanities, joy and sorrow, flower and freak together, is a work with world vision which at the same time embodies the mystical power of Chinese language.
