In the Bai household the clocks run an hour behind the rest of Shanghai, and a huqin saws away at stories nobody wants to hear. Bai Liusu, divorced and twenty-eight, has watched her brothers spend her money, and now they suggest, kindly, that she go and mourn her dead ex-husband.

Hong Kong's defeat had brought Liusu victory. But in this unreasonable world, who can distinguish cause from effect?
