Three Souls

China, 1935. A country fractured by civil war and social change.

The ghost of a young woman named Leiyin watches her own funeral, wondering why she has been denied entry to the afterlife. She is joined by her stern, scholarly yang soul, her impulsive, romantic yin soul, and her wise, shining hun soul. Together they must discover how she can leave this earth.

They travel back in time to the day her life changed. When Leiyin meets the charismatic revolutionary poet Hanchin, she soon discovers how completely her life is controlled by her traditional father. She experiences exile, an unwanted marriage, betrayal, and the terrible consequences of an act of revenge.

The ghost of Leiyin must now make amends to gain entrance to the afterlife.

Richly infused with the rituals, sights and sounds of early 20th century China, Three Souls tells the compelling story of one woman's quest to realize her destiny. Here is a unique debut novel: moving, compulsively readable and wholly original.
