Winner of the 1999 National Book Award for Fiction and the 2000 Pen/Faulkner Award.
Thanks to Jassy-m for this one.
For more than seventeen years, Lin Kong, a devoted and ambitious doctor, has been in love with an educated, clever, modern woman, Manna Wu. But back in his traditional home village lives the humble, loyal wife his family chose for him years ago. Every summer, he returns to ask her for a divorce and every summer his compliant wife agrees but then backs out. This time, after eighteen years' waiting, Lin promises it will be different.

This one has been on the shelf for such a long time that I honestly can't see it surfacing to the top of the pile. Saw it on a wishlist so sending it off to a new home.
Reserved as a wishlist tag.

A great read. I enjoyed it very much, but I wish every character would have acted differently.
The book is now ready to go to its new home.
