The Secret Language of Women

-Nina Romano is an accomplished and published poet and author of short shories. This is her first novel.

-This is the first book in the Wayfarer trilogy and set in Bejing. The next two books will continue through the centuries to Sicily and Brooklyn.

-Analogous to the women’s backstories in The Joy Luck Club and Richard McKenna’s The Sand Pebbles, but set in an earlier time period. The language, lyrical and full of sensory richness, reflects the author’s poetic skills.
