The novel begins with the family of Zhu Yinghong, whose father, Zhu Zuyan, was imprisoned in the early days of Chiang Kai-shek's rule. Zhu Zuyan spends his days luxuriating in his Lotus Garden, which he builds according to his own desires. Forever under suspicion, he indulges as much as he can in circumscribed pleasures, though they drain the family fortune. Eventually the entire household is sold, including the Lotus Garden. The novel then swings to modern-day Taipei, where Zhu Yinghong falls for Lin Xigeng, a real estate tycoon and playboy. Their cat-and-mouse courtship builds against the extravagant banquets and decadent entertainments of Taipei's wealthy businessmen. Though the two ultimately marry, their high-styled romance dulls over time, leading to a dangerous, desperate quest to reclaim the enchantment of the Lotus Garden. 410 0$aModern Chinese literature from Taiwan. 606 $aGardens$zTaiwan$vFiction 607 $aTaiwan$xHistory$vFiction 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGardens 676 $a895.13/52 700 $aLi$b Ang$f1952-$01028422 702 $aLi-chun Lin$b Sylvia 702 $aGoldblatt$b Howard$f1939- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460939503321 996 $aThe lost garden$92444426 997 $aUNINA
