After her father dies, a young Chinese woman struggles to survive and finds she has much in common with an old hunchbacked woman known for the bitter-melon and shrimp dumplings she brings to market each day.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
A tasty, original story
This striking picture book ends with a new beginning for three people who never expected to be friends â an orphaned girl cast out by her siblings, a slave escaping from a mighty emperorâs ship, and a hunchbacked old woman known for the bitter-melon and shrimp dumplings she brings to market each day â and for living in a haunted house at the edge of the marshes. As their hardship-filled paths cross, each of their lives begins to change for the better, in a moving affirmation of the power of compassion.
Set long ago in a Chinese village by the sea, Jeanne M. Leeâs meticulously illustrated story has an extraordinary flavor all its own.
