Tiananmen Square

´An extraordinary book. Truly important´ - William Boyd A stunning, deeply moving novel about growing up in Beijing in the 1970s and 80s and taking part in Tiananmen Square protests. Tiananmen Square is the story of one girl´s life growing up in the China of the 1970s and 80s, as well as the story of the events in 1989 that give the novel its name: the hope and idealism of a generation of young students, their heroism and courage, and the price that some of them paid. ´A remarkable autobiographical novel .... intimate as well as epic, turning her book from a key testimony of a historic tragedy into a work of finely wrought fiction ... she got it perfect first time´ Sunday Times
