Beskrivelse
"A JOURNEY OF TRIAL AND REDEMPTION, OF DARKNESS AND LIGHT, OF GETTING LOST AND BEING FOUND AGAIN"
In October 1975, a strange, unwanted girl was placed on a decrepit fishing boat and cast out to sea along with others from her small village outside of Saigon. What became of the little girl after is a harrowing story that plumbs the depths of identity and loss, of being and memory and belonging and alienation. Part adventure, part psychiatric case study, part love story, Who Knows Where the White Crane Flies? examines the questions surrounding what it means to be lost to the world and to one's own mind, only to be found once again, how others truly affect our lives and ultimately, what our duty is to them in this world and what their duty is to us.
In this, his eighth novel, Paul Koppisch systematically breaks the reader's heart and then begins mending it as he traces the journey of a girl who challenges our conventional notions of love and acceptance.
