Overview

Una lectura cálida, intensa y con un sabor que nos devuelve a la tierra del origen del té.

Capaz de combinar belleza poética con tramas cautivadoras, Lisa See ha ido construyendo en sus novelas, desde El abanico de seda hasta El círculo de mujeres de la doctora Tan, un fascinante universo literario en torno a la historia y la cultura chinas. En La joven del té, vuelve a sorprendernos con un relato conmovedor sobre familia, identidad y maternidad.

Suroeste de China, década de 1990. En una remota aldea de las montañas de Yunnan, Li Yan y su familia llevan una vida marcada por el paso de las estaciones y el cultivo del té. Como parte del pueblo akha, siguen rituales ancestrales transmitidos durante generaciones, pero Li Yan, una de las pocas jóvenes alfabetizadas de la zona, empieza a cuestionar las costumbres que han definido su existencia desde siempre. Cuando se queda embarazada y comprende que la tradición exige sacrificar a los niños nacidos fuera del matrimonio, huye dejando a su bebé en las puertas de un orfanato, envuelta en una manta junto a una torta de té. Así, mientras la madre renuncia a su pasado para estudiar, emprender un negocio y comenzar una nueva vida, la hija, Haley, crece en California, adoptada por una familia que la cría con amor. Pero Haley no para de preguntarse por sus orígenes, y al otro lado del mundo Li Yan no puede olvidar a la niña que abandonó. ¿Será que están destinadas a reunirse algún día?

Retrato inolvidable de una región poco conocida y de quienes la habitan, La joven del té es una emotiva celebración de los lazos indestructibles entre madre e hija, y la historia de dos mujeres separadas por la distancia y la cultura, pero unidas por el deseo de reencontrarse.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A thrilling new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa See explores the lives of a Chinese mother and her daughter who has been adopted by an American couple.

Li-yan and her family align their lives around the seasons and the farming of tea. There is ritual and routine, and it has been ever thus for generations. Then one day a jeep appears at the village gate—the first automobile any of them have seen—and a stranger arrives.

In this remote Yunnan village, the stranger finds the rare tea he has been seeking and a reticent Akha people. In her biggest seller, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, See introduced the Yao people to her readers. Here she shares the customs of another Chinese ethnic minority, the Akha, whose world will soon change. Li-yan, one of the few educated girls on her mountain, translates for the stranger and is among the first to reject the rules that have shaped her existence. When she has a baby outside of wedlock, rather than stand by tradition, she wraps her daughter in a blanket, with a tea cake hidden in her swaddling, and abandons her in the nearest city.

After mother and daughter have gone their separate ways, Li-yan slowly emerges from the security and insularity of her village to encounter modern life while Haley grows up a privileged and well-loved California girl. Despite Haley’s happy home life, she wonders about her origins; and Li-yan longs for her lost daughter. They both search for and find answers in the tea that has shaped their family’s destiny for generations.

A powerful story about a family, separated by circumstances, culture, and distance, The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane paints an unforgettable portrait of a little known region and its people and celebrates the bond that connects mothers and daughters.
