Peter Hessler's previous book River Town was a prize-winning, poignant and deeply compelling portrait of China. Now, in Oracle Bones, Hessler returns to the country, excavating its long history and immersing himself in the lives of young Chinese as they navigate one of the most dramatic transformations of our time.
Following individuals as they migrate from the traditional Chinese countryside to the booming, ever-changing cities, Hessler captures the human face of China's modern transformation—revealing how ordinary people struggle to adapt, survive, and build new lives in a society being remade before their eyes.
