Liu Hong grew up in the North East of China, near the Chinese–North Korean border. She came to Britain in 1989. Since then she has worked here as a writer, teacher, and as a translator. Her writing career began with four novels published by Headline Review: Startling Moon (2002), The Magpie Bridge (2004), The Touch (2006), and Wives of the East Wind (2007). She is also the author of Nas Folhas do Chá, a children’s book co-written with Flávia Lins e Silva, published by Zahar (2012).

‘The Good Women of Fudi, by Lui Hong is a torrid romance that shows how love can transcend traditional gender expectations and national borders.’
