REPEAT AFTER ME
A Novel
A novel of love and loss in between languages.
Aysha, a twenty-two-year-old New Yorker, is beginning to put the pieces of her life back in place after a nervous breakdown. Teaching an adult education class, she meets a young Chinese student named Da Ge - tortured, charismatic and just as unstable as she is - who flips her world upside-down once again.
In a love story that spans decades and continents, from the Tiananmen Square massacre to 9/11, New York City's Upper West Side to the terraced mountains of South China, Repeat After Me is a perceptive, funny and tragic tale of clashing cultures and troubled histories.
DAuthor, actress and award-winning poet Rachel DeWoskin was born in Michigan, USA. In 1994, she moved to Beijing, taking a starring role in a hugely successful Chinese soap opera. Her acclaimed first book, Foreign Babes in Beijing, a memoir of her time in China, was published by Granta and has been translated into five languages. She lives in New York with her husband and two children.
