An Eye in the Wall: Short Stories from China

Award-winning linked stories and novella by Megan Lee. A foreign language student witnesses an execution, a young boy's body washes up on the beach, a good Samaritan tries to save a beggar, a prisoner’s last day, an old woman encounters a teenage runaway on a bus. The points of view shift from Chinese to Westerners, looking in and looking out at each other through the cultural wall that is China.
