Katherine by Anchee Min ISBN: 0425180239 Price: 13.00 View Basket Availability: Usually ships within 24 hours. Publisher/ Date: Berkley Pub Group / 03-2001 Format: Quality Paperback Synopsis: This novel, described by the San Francisco Chronicle Book Review as "nothing short of miraculous," is the story of Zebra Wong, a Chinese girl whose pragmatic mind conflicts with her passionate heart; Lion Head, her classmate, whose penchant for romantic intrigue belies his political ambitions, and Katherine, the seductive American with the red lipstick and the wild laugh who teaches them English and other foreign concepts: individualism, sensuality, the Beatles. In Katherine's classroom, repression and rebellion meet head-on-and the consequences are both tragic and liberating.About the AuthorAnchee Min was born in Shanghai in 1957.
