Durante más de cincuenta años, Winnie y Helen se han ocultado sus peores secretos y ahora, cuando Helen está a punto de morir, Winnie decide contarle toda la verdad a su hija Pearl... incluso la terrible verdad que ignora la propia Helen. Así despega una fabulosa historia que nos llevará desde Shanghai en los años veinte, a través de una China inmersa en guerra, hasta Estados Unidos, adonde llega Winnie en 1949. Ignorando que Pearl también esconde su propio secreto, Winnie le confiesa cómo confundió el amor con el abandono de sí misma y le cuenta por qué a veces es necesario vivir una vida llena de contradicciones. En esta emocionante historia de amor, violencia y muerte, Winnie nos sumergirá en tabúes sociales, en historias de ancianas esposas y de interminables guerras, en el largo aprendizaje personal para ser algo más que la simple «esposa del Dios del Fuego»...

Work Description
Winnie and Helen have kept each other's worst secrets for more than fifty years. Now, because she believes she is dying, Helen wants to expose everything. And Winnie angrily determines that she must be the one to tell her daughter, Pearl, about the past--including the terrible truth even Helen does not know. And so begins Winnie's story of her life on a small island outside Shanghai in the 1920s, and other places in China during World War II, and traces the happy and desperate events that led to Winnie's coming to America in 1949.
