Tiananmen Square

'An extraordinary book. Truly important' - William Boyd A stunning, deeply moving novel about growing up in Beijing in the 1970s and 80s and taking part in Tiananmen Square protests It is Beijing in the 1970s, and Lai lives with her parents, grandmother and younger brother in a small flat in a working-class area.
