HISTORICAL FICTION. Following a fall at the river town of Feng Jie, Chinese Cinderella is whisked away to the hospital. There, she sees a copy of an ancient painting, 'Along the River at Qing Ming'. As she lapses in and out of consciousness, she is haunted by vivid dreams that seem strange-yet somehow familiar. A tale emerges, of friendship, family wealth and poverty, eunuchs and an Emperor who loved art. For ages 10-14
