“Every word is a delight to the senses, the writing as elegant as the author\u2019s description of a tiger \u2026. It is a story to savor. It is a story to remember.” <\/i>—Francis Guenette, author of the Crater Lake Series<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe reader will immediately feel swept away into a lush part of China that is mostly unknown to the outside world. Nicki Chen provides a fresh new voice in the field of China literature.\u201d<\/i> \u2013Susan Blumberg-Kason, author of Good Chinese Wife: A Cross-Cultural Memoir.<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

An Lee has the heart of a man. But when the Japanese invade China, she\u2019s forced to stay home while her beloved husband goes to battle. Until he returns, it\u2019s up to her to protect her mother, mother-in-law, daughter and soon-to-be-born son.<\/span><\/p>\n

Surrounded by the enemy, An Lee buries the family gold, stocks the pantry, and watches in dismay as her former teachers flee to Hong Kong. Then, on December 7, 1941, the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor and take control of China\u2019s international settlements, including An Lee\u2019s island home. To survive the next four years of occupation, she will need all the strength, resilience, and love she can muster.<\/span><\/p>\n

Emotionally charged and lyrical, Tiger Tail Soup<\/i> captures the drama and suffering of wartime China through the eyes of a brave young woman.<\/span><\/p>\n
