Description
"'Who are you?' you must be wondering. I am your soulmate, your old friend, and I have come back to this city of sixteen million in search of you." So begins the first letter that falls into Wang's lap as he flips down the visor in his taxi. The letters that follow are filled with the stories of Wang's previous lives -- from escaping a marriage to a spirit bride, to being a slave on the run from Genghis Khan, to living as a fisherman during the Opium Wars, and being a teenager on the Red Guard during the cultural revolution -- bound to his mysterious "soulmate," spanning one thousand years of betrayal and intrigue. As the letters continue to appear seemingly out of thin air, Wang becomes convinced that someone is watching him -- someone who claims to have known him for over one thousand years. And with each letter, Wang feels the watcher growing closer and closer.
