Seventeen-year-old
Ming and twenty-four-year-old Yan have very little in common other than
studying in the same college. Ming, innocent and preoccupied, lives in her
own world of books, music and imagination. Yan is, by contrast, sexy but
cynical, beautiful but wild. She uses her looks to get what she wants from
the many men in her life.
When the two girls meet, and become best
friends, Ming's world is changed forever. She is attracted to Yan's
free-spirit, while Yan yearns for the kind of stability Ming's seriousness
can bring. But the differences in upbringing and ideologies ultimately
drive a wedge between them, leaving each to face her own dark secret
alone.
Narrated by an adult Ming, February Flowers is a finely wrought
coming-of-age novel, and the story of a bond between two very different
girls in modern China. It is a meditation on love, loss and redemption,
and how a background shapes a life.
