From then on she listens to Kwan's stories and pretends to believe them. Out of both fright and resentment, Olivia betrays her sister - with terrible consequences. In the bedroom the sisters share, Kwan whispers secrets about ghosts and makes Olivia promise never to reveal them. Olivia's neglectful mother, who in pursuing a new marriage can't provide the attention her daughter needs, finds Kwan to be a handy caretaker. What proof of love do we seek between mother and daughter, among sisters, lovers, and friends? What are its boundaries and failings? Can love go beyond 'Until death do us part?' And if so, which aspects haunt us like regretful ghosts? In 1962, Olivia, nearly six years old, meets Kwan, her adult half sister from China, for the first time. Set in San Francisco and in a remote village of southern China, this is a tale of American pragmatism shaken, and soothed, by Chinese ghosts. What will this famous tooth fairy be?Īrthur A.

Oliver Sangster, clad in a maroon, silk dressing gown, clutched a glass of brandy and regarded the strangers with curiosity. He had piercing green eyes, brown wavy hair, and sported a dark goatee beard. The tall man that faced the freezing couple appeared their age. The porch light illuminated the bleak, late afternoon gloominess, and the door opened slowly.
