This is a sympathetic and intelligent portrait of a once-great civilization in turmoil, embracing the ideals of a market economy, but unable, or unwilling, to jettison the past; and of the Cultural Revolution, which left a large section of the population without an education.

A BEND IN THE YELLOW RIVER is a sympathetic and intelligent portrait of a once-great civilisation in turmoil - embracing the ideals of a market economy, but unable, or unwilling to jettison the past; of the effects of the Cultural Revoloution, which left a large section of the population deprived of an education, of the devastation of the one-child policy. Witty, quirky and touching, this is a stunning view of another way of life.

Justin Hill is the author of one previous work, A Bend in the Yellow River. Born in 1971, he worked with VSO and lived in China for many years.
