Tsukiyama, Gail Women of the Silk: A Novel
St. Martin's Griffin October 15, 199 0-312-09943-6 / 9780312099435 Paperback Very Good
An auspicious debut, this sensitively written, impressively researched nove l covers 20 years in the life of Pei, a Chinese girl sent to work in a silk factory during the first decades of the 20th century. Quick-witted, inquis itive, spirited Pei spends her early childhood on a poverty-stricken fish f arm; her uncommunicative parents consign her to the factory for the wages s he will send home. Initially terrified, Pei soon settles into the communal routine, and finds the 12-hour factory day made bearable by the kindness of supervisors and fellow workers. Along with her best friend, Lin, she decid es at 16 to go through the hairdressing ceremony, in which girls pledge to dedicate their lives to silk work instead of marrying, and move into the pe aceful milieu of the "sisters' house." Details of the process of spinning s ilk, the close bonds among the sisterhood, and contrasts between the tradit ion-steeped existence the young women enjoy and the upheaval attending the new communist regime create a compelling narrative. Tsukiyama's simple, ele gant and fluid prose weaves a vivid picture of rural China. In delicately e voking the silk workers' world, she has opened a window onto an aspect of C hina few outsiders ever see.
