description: Li Xuelian married to Qin Yuhe is pregnant with their second child. Happy news? Not in China with its one-child policy. It is a crime. What is she to do? Her only option is divorcing before the second child is born.Once the baby has entered into the household registry well marry again. The baby will be born after the divorce so well each have one child when we marry again. No law says couples with one child cant marry. Perfect! Except that after the divorce Qin marries . . . another woman who is expecting a baby. Mad with rage Li runs to the judge begging him to declare the divorce a sham so she may remarry and truly divorce the fool!Lius politically charged plot reads like an absurd and hilarious comedy but couched in his fiction is a harsh indictment of Chinas one-child law and a head-on critique of Chinas corrupt system. I Did Not Kill My Husband is storytelling and satire of the highest order sharp-edged and ironic.Skyhorse Publishing as well as our Arcade Yucca and Good Books imprints are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in fictionnovels novellas political and medical thrillers comedy satire historical fiction romance erotic and love stories mystery classic literature folklore and mythology literary classics including Shakespeare Dumas Wilde Cather and much more.
