Deanna Fei’s A Thread of Sky
“A Thread of Sky is narrated by each of the six characters in turn, from each stop on their tour; each chapter is written in the third-person, but entirely from the characters’ points of view. I always knew that was the only way I could write it, because through
the story of these six women and their experiences of China, the novel also explores the nature of perspective: each character’s perspective on herself, on one another, and on China.”
