China, 1972. Since Comrade Li moved into the house, life has been very different for Ling. She used to laugh and play with her father in the evenings. Now, her parents whisper and worry. Though Ling is taught that Chairman Mao works for her happiness, food is rationed; her father, a skilled surgeon, is ordered to give up doctoring to mop floors and scrub bathrooms at the hospital; and a dear friend has been declared an enemy of the state. This novel about the Cultural Revolution is based on the author's childhood. Author's note.
