Coco, a successful young female novelist, has left her home in Shanghai to live in New York. In this new world she meets Muju, half-Italian, half-Japanese - the yang to Coco's yin. The two find mutual passion, experimenting and exploring their deepest desires. Then into Coco's life strolls a glamorous, wealthy and impossibly urbane New Yorker, an infuriating character who causes havoc in Coco's relationship with Muju.

Coco flies back to China, to the tiny temple-studded island of Putuo, and for a time her spirit is restored - but a deeper dilemma awaits when the two men make their reappearance.

Marrying Buddha is the continuation of Wei Hui's semi-autobiographical story that began with Shanghai Baby, the book that was banned in China and went on to become an international bestseller.

Industry Reviews

'This book is one of the first in China to portray Wei-Hui's generation of urban women, born in the 1970s, as they search for moral grounding in a country of shifting values... Wei-Hui sees herself as a feminist helping her generation of women understand themselves.' -- New York Times

'A steamy Chinese novel in the Western style about life in contemporary China... condemned for exploring subjects that are completely taboo in modern Chinese literature.' -- The Times

'Wei Hui is intelligent and a passionate spokesperson for the women of modern China.' -- Marie Claire
