A buxom, na ve 16-year-old, she joins the mass migration to the boomtown of Shenzhen where she navigates dangerous encounters with ruthless bosses, jealous wives, sympathetic hookers and corrupt policemen. Moving through a grinding succession of dead end jobs, Xiaohong finds solace in her close ties with her fellow \"northern girls,\" who quickly learn to rely on each other for humor and the enjoyment of life's simple pleasures. This coming-of-age novel explores the inner lives of a generation of young, rural Chinese women who embark on life-changing journeys in search of something better.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Keyi Sheng\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0670076163\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780670076161\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Viking\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Keyi Sheng","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46135996383487,"sku":"9780670076161","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_988d4ee1-7c3e-4707-a5cf-f320189922b6.jpg?v=1726415375","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/northern-girls-keyi-sheng-9780670076161","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
