520    "In rural Yun Village, herbalist Mrs. Yi lives with her 
       husband in a cottage at the foot of Niulan Mountain, where
       she gathers herbs to treat the ailments of the villagers 
       by day and studies medicine by night. Sickness and herbs 
       are lovers, she tells her patients, rejoicing when they 
       recover, comforting them when they do not. All the while, 
       she hopes to find a worthy successor to take up her 
       mantle. As curious younger villagers observe Mrs. Yi and 
       begin imitating her work—planting gardens and studying the
       art of healing—they soon discover that the line dividing 
       life from death is porous, and the mountain is more 
       mysterious than they ever knew. Drawing on her experiences
       as a barefoot doctor in her youth, Can Xue returns with a 
       transporting novel that alights in the in-between spaces: 
       between the living and the dead, healer and sick, nature 
       and us." --book jacket
