New York Times Bestseller Balzac & the Little Chinese Seamstress is an enchanting tale that captures the magic of reading & the wonder of romantic awakening. An immediate international bestseller, it tells the story of two hapless city boys exiled to a remote mountain village for re-education during China’s infamous Cultural Revolution. There the two friends meet the daughter of the local tailor & discover a hidden stash of Western classics in Chinese translation. As they flirt with the seamstress & secretly devour these banned works, the two friends find transit from their grim surroundings to worlds they never imagined.
