About this book

A Nobel Prize-winning AuthorBefore the Cultural Revolution, narrator Tadpole's feisty Aunt Gugu was revered as an obstetrician in her rural China township. When famine lifts and the population booms, Gugu becomes the unlikely yet passionate enforcer of China's reviled new family-planning policy, violently at odds with deep-rooted values. And as China moves towards the millennium, Tadpole finds himself again caught up in the one-child policy's repercussions.
