Jasmine Tea - Eileen Chang

'But how sweet a fruit the 'suppose' must be, that people will sup and sup on it! A juicy fruit, like a lychee but without the pit, sparkling and light green- a fruit that hides the tart within the sweet.'
In this haunting collection of stories, a young man's obsession leads to tragedy and a woman's bitterness poisons a family's legacy. In delicate, piercing prose, Chang captures a world of quiet cruelties and calamitous desires in pre-revolutionary China.
