<b>In this brilliant sliding doors debut, a Chinese American couple's love story is told and retold</b> <p>Elizabeth and Simon are newly married. Elizabeth is waiting for her green card and spends the winter in Chicago staining her fingers with pomegranate seeds, dreaming of home. </p><p>Elizabeth and Simon can't get pregnant, and something unseen is leaving bruises on Elizabeth's body as she sleeps, making rest impossible. </p><p>Elizabeth and Simon are having a new baby, and as they convert a closet into a nursery, Elizabeth is cursed with a magical second sight. </p><p>In these ten linked stories, echoing oral traditions from around the world, Julie Zhou re-spins old wives' tales: from Chinese folklore to nursery rhymes, from the myth of Persephone to "The Princess and the Pea." The result is an astonishing feat of storytelling that reimagines fairy tale and reality, making both come to exuberant life on the page.</p>
