This is the melancholy story of Siew Tsin, who died young - and finds herself in the afterlife, married off to a rich old man, in the tenth court of hell.
Left to her own devices and almost completely ignored by the rest of the household - Siew Tsin‘s life is transformed by the arrival of a new wife, made of terracotta.
This is a short, beautifully described tale of self discovery and I think I enjoyed it more the second time round.
