An Yu
In Five Poems Lake, a small village surrounded by impenetrable deserts, the sun is slowly disappearing overhead. A young woman keeps one apprehensive eye on the sky above as she tends the pharmacy of traditional medicine that belonged to her great grandfather. She has few customers, and even fewer visitors: her older sister Dong Ji, her last living relative, works at a wellness parlor across town for those who can afford it—which, during these strange and difficult days, is not many.
Five Poems Lake had fallen on hard times long before the sun began shrinking, but now, every few days, a new sliver disappears. As the temperature drops and the lake freezes over, the population of the town realizes that they will soon die—if not of the cold and starvation, then of despair. When the Beacons begin to appear—ordinary people with heads replaced by searing, blinding light, like miniature suns—the town’s residents wonder if they may hold the answer to their salvation, or if they are just another sign of impending ruin. A photograph belonging to their father, who died mysteriously twelve years ago, may offer a clue in the mystery of the Beacons, and Dong Ji and her sister wonder if they may finally learn what happened to their father.
With a richly surreal sensibility that has earned comparisons to the work of Haruki Murakami, and anchored by searching curiosity and wisdom, in Sunbirth An Yu honors the unique relationship held between sisters and asks how much we can ever know about the deepest mysteries of the world.

Reseñas de la crítica
"Mei Mei Macleod's performance of this speculative novel draws listeners into an alternative world in which slivers of the sun are slowly disappearing. A young woman works at a pharmacy in Five Poems Lake, a village surrounded by deserts. Years ago, her father, a policeman, died mysteriously, and now new clues drive the young woman and her sister, Dong Ji, to investigate how their father met his demise. Macleod’s precision with dialogue makes each character stand out. Her captivating narration of this character-driven novel illustrates the emotional complexity of the sisters’ relationship as they search for answers to their father’s past and face the potential for the end of the sun’s existence."
