When she vanishes without a trace, he sets up a small caf in her favourite spot on the edge of the South China Sea, hoping shell return. Instead, he is confronted by the man he suspects may be responsible for everything he has suffered: Luo Yiming, a prominent businessman and philanthropist who holds the small town in his sway.

Having made his fortune, Ting-Kuo returned with a vengeance with MY ENEMYS CHERRY TREE which has since won all of Taiwans major literary prizes. This novel marks his English-language debut.
