Her parents had a complicated marriage. Her five siblings each have their own sagas, and there is a destructive genetic force within the family’s bloodlines that causes much heartbreak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd then there is the large Chinese family of Janice’s husband, James, equally cinematic and sweeping with a rich and complex history of its own. There is a daring wartime escape, a lost child, immigration to a new world, and a bittersweet reunion after decades of separation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJanice first met James fresh out of college while waitressing at Mandarin Garden, the only Chinese restaurant of its kind in Braintree. He had just arrived in America from Taiwan. As they work to bridge the divide between them—emotionally, culturally, and geographically—they begin to build their lives together. From Taiwan to Los Angeles, from her mother's bipolar disorder to the language barrier with her mother-in-law, Janice finds herself constantly searching for the feeling of home. Janice believes she can close the circle when she embarks on her own journey to become a mother. Like so many journeys, Janice’s own journey to motherhood is filled with twists, turns, and surprises, leading to a baby girl from James’s ancestral region of China. Janice and James might finally close a circle that had been open for generations on both sides and find home at last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFilled with humor and heart, wisdom and healing, \u003ci\u003eYear of the Water Horse\u003c\/i\u003e is a profound and compelling story with a deeply satisfying ending that will resonate long after the final page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47156139458796,"sku":"9798897100095","price":67.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/8897313488916.jpg?v=1767146429"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/janice-page.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
