Spanning three generations this novel of family and myth is told through a series of flashbacks that depict events of staggering horror set against a landscape of gemlike beauty as the Chinese battle both Japanese invaders and each other in the turbulent 1930s. A legend in China where it won major literary awards and inspired an Oscar-nominated film Red Sorghum is a book in which fable and history collide to produce fiction that is entirely new and unforgettable.
