Book: WHITE HORSE by Yan Ge

 

A gripping psychological tale, enlivened by wickedly sharp insights into contemporary small-town life.

 

White HorseDescription
Yun Yun lives in a small West China town with her widowed father, and an uncle, aunt and older cousin who live nearby. One day, her once-secure world begins to fall apart. Through her eyes, we observe her cousin, Zhang Qing, keen to dive into the excitements of adolescence but clashing with repressive parents. Ensuing tensions reveal that the relationships between the two families are founded on a terrible lie.

Review
“Vivid, White Horse mesmerizes from page one as events unfold through the unassuming lenses of a child’s mind. In recounting how young Yun Yun is trying to make sense of real life experiences in an adult world, Author Yan Ge weaves a fascinating tale of receptive hearts, rebellious spirits and hidden secrets infused with cultural values in a small close-knit Chinese community.”
Lema Abeng-Nsah, DUNIA Magazine Publisher & Editorial Director
