Wuhu Diary

The Mystery of My Daughter Lulu

Edición de la obra Wuhu Diary

"All Emily Prager had at first was a blurred photograph of a baby, but it would be her baby - if she journeyed to China to pick her up. In 1994, Prager brought LuLu, the baby girl chosen for her, back to America, and when LuLu was old enough, Prager was determined to honor her adopted daughter's heritage by sending her to a Chinese school in New York City's Chinatown. But of course there were always questions about LuLu's past and the city of Wuhu, where she was born. And Prager herself had a special affinity for China because she had spent part of her own childhood there. So together, mother and daughter undertook a two-month journey back to Wuhu, a city on the banks of the Yangtze River in eastern China, to discover anything they could. But finding answers wasn't easy, particularly when, the week after their arrival, the United States accidentally bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade.". "Wuhu Diary is a story of the search for identity. It tells of exploring the new emotional bond that grows between a Caucasian mother and her Chinese child as they try to make themselves at home in China at a time of political tension, and of encountering - and understanding - a modern but ancient culture through the irresistible presence of a child."--BOOK JACKET.
