Meet a Shanghainese woman writer Wang Anyi and enjoy one of her popular novels about a girl who grows up happily in spite of all the difficulties in her life. | v Annie Baby: Sober On the Road
In October, Annie Baby, writer of the 2000 best seller Farewell to Vivian, published her sixth book, Notes of Soberness. Just as with her past works, this new work topped the best sellers, and has continued to do so since its publication.
