Forbidden Nights
Judith Shapiro's long-cherished dream comes true as she accepts a two-year posting to teach in Shang Sa, Hunan, a chapter catalyzed by China's opening to the West. From the moment she arrives, she faces a string of practical hurdles—only cold water for washing, a room door that stubbornly won't unlock, and other small frictions. Yet these troubles are trivial beside the challenge of decoding Chinese social interactions. When a surprising turn unfolds, the story veers into distinctly strange territory.
