Synopsis

At thirty, Liang Xinhe is about to leave the lover who cheated on her after seven years together. At thirty-six, Ning Xi is ready to end things with the lover she has been breaking up and getting back together with for over a decade. Then the two women meet.

When they first meet, both are in a sorry state. Each thinks it’s an insignificant passing encounter in her life. Neither realizes it’s their starting point.

Liang Xinhe: I keep pressing down the snow inside me, again and again. It is too white, too close to spring.

Ning Xi: Love in this world is hazy, like a sparrow suddenly flying past.

For Easy Rereading

I've been reading for nine years and often browse the bestseller lists. There haven't been as many good reads these past couple of years. I like quieter stories that aren't too dumbed down or padded out, and aren't excessively long.
