SUMMARY:Fan Wu\, February Flowers
DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/238921/ ] from Kepler's site: 
      "As the inaugural book of Picador Asia\, a new imprint of Picador\, Pan Macmillan\, Fan Wu's debut novel February Flowers has garnered rave reviews in Australia\, Asia\, and the UK\, praised as "brilliant"\, "compelling"\, "sophisticated"\, and "original and unforgettable". It's currently being translated into six languages.
      
      Set in modern China\, February Flowers tells a story of self-discovery and reconciliation with the past. An unlikely pair\, 17-year-old Ming and 24-year-old Yan meet and form an immediate bond despite having very little in common. Ming\, innocent and preoccupied\, lives in her own world of books\, music and imagination. Yan is\, by contrast\, beautiful\, sexy\, wild\, and manipulative. Their friendship is brief\, almost accidental\, but intense\, and it changes Ming's world forever.
      
      Insightful\, sophisticated\, and rich with complex characters\, February Flowers captures a society torn between tradition and modernity\, dogma and freedom. It is a meditation on friendship\, family\, love\, loss and redemption\, and how a background shapes a life.
      
      Fan Wu grew up on a state-run farm in southern China\, where her parents were exiled during the Cultural Revolution. Her short stories have been published by Granta and The Missouri Review. She lives in San Jose\, is a Stanford alumni and an ex-Yahoo! employee. For more information about the author\, please visit www.FanWuWrites.com"
