This review is from: Old Well (Paperback)
This is a love story set in the drought striken mountain village of Old Well. He is obsessed with digging a new well and saving the village. She aches to leave Old Well and live in the city. Somtimes, like a Chinese scroll painting, the figures are minute against the landscape. Other times it is only he and she who matter. Within and without the story of their passion is the conflict between past and future, country and city, tradition and modernity, ancient superstions and government regulations. But always and ever, underling all, is a moving portrait of the eternal soul of the Chinese peasant searcing for the water of life, driven to survive.
