Brilliant and original, A Thousand Years of Good Prayers introduces a remarkable new writer whose breathtaking stories are set in China and among Chinese Americans in the United States. In this rich, astonishing collection, Yiyun Li illuminates how mythology, politics, history, and culture intersect with personality to create fate. From the bustling heart of Beijing, to a fast-food restaurant in Chicago, to the barren expanse of Inner Mongolia, A Thousand Years of Good Prayers reveals worlds both foreign and familiar, with heartbreaking honesty and in beautiful prose. "Immortality," winner of The Paris Review's Plimpton Prize for new writers, tells the story of a young man who bears a striking resemblance to a dictator and so finds a calling to immortality. In "The Princess of Nebraska," a man and a woman who were both in love with a young actor in China meet again in America and try to reconcile the lost love with their new lives. "After a Life" illuminates the vagaries of marriage, parenthood, and gender, unfolding the story of a couple who keep a daughter hidden from the world. And in "A Thousand Years of Good Prayers," in which a man visits America for the first time to see his recently divorced daughter, only to discover that all is not as it seems, Li boldly explores the effects of communism on language, faith, and an entire people, underlining transformation in its many meanings and incarnations. These and other daring stories form a mesmerizing tapestry of revelatory fiction by an unforgettable writer.Binding Type: Paperback

All my items fit perfectly for my girls trip. It holds a lot of jewelry, the zipper quality is very good, and it’s soft in the inside and the outside. It was so good I also purchased some for the other ladies to take on the trip.

Great sized, nice organization, lacks protection for studs
Color: White, Size: Medium (8.46"W*5.71"D*2.17"H)
The size is great. I love that it zips closed
I don't need as much ring storage as it has, and I could use some larger compartments for earrings
My biggest complaint is that the flap that houses the studs doesn't have any extra space, so the stud earrings lay directly on the rings. Not great for protecting metal and stones from scratches and bending.

Great travel jewelry case!

This is a fabulous case for traveling with jewelry! Each area is secure (no jewelry moving around). The case is attractive, easy to use and has a durable and wipeable cover.
