​This is a century driven by the pursuit of fortune—a gilded age in which many, following different paths, find themselves arriving at the same solitude. It is an era that inspires both pride and quiet doubt.

​

Three inseparable friends, bound together since their school days, come of age amid this glittering prosperity. They witness the September 11 attacks in New York and, a decade later, narrowly escape the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami of March 11. Moving between New York and China against the currents of a changing world, the novel follows the lives of ordinary people caught within extraordinary events, tracing their ambitions and losses, their choices and compromises, and the larger questions that emerge from individual lives.
