Take a break with Penguin Audio Book Break's presentation of English by Wang Gang. Voted "Best Novel of the Year" in China, English tells the story of a twelve-year-old boy named Love Liu who wonders what life is like beyond the region of Xinjiang in China's remote northwest. When a new teacher comes to school—a tall, elegantly dressed man from Shanghai carrying an English dictionary under his arm—Love Liu turns away from Chairman Mao's little red book and toward the teacher's big blue book for answers to his most pressing questions about love and life. But as a whole new world begins to open up for him, Love Liu must face a test more challenging than any he'll take in the classroom in this extraordinary novel about the power of language to launch a journey of self-discovery.
