FAREWELL MY CONCUBINE

"Has the sweep and pang of a novel that keeps you up reading till dawn, then lives in your dreams." --Time

Beginning amid the decadent glamour of China in the 1930s and ending in the 1980s in Hong Kong, this brilliant novel, which formed the basis for the award-winning movie, is the passionate story of an opera student who falls in love with his best friend, and the beautiful woman who comes between them.
