description: An overseas Chinese woman confronts her past, seeking the origins of the insecurity that now besets her. The clues leads backwards, to her family and to China, to a past that is both obsession and legacy. She is now something of a foreigner herself-foreign culture, foreign children, foreign home. An affecting and unusual story about the quest for identity, it is written in English-a borrowed tongue.
