"Taylor is onto something rich and appealingβ€”a story unafraid to foreground love and lust, and that treats emotional ambiguity as a starting point, not as the fuzzy ending common in literary fiction." -Kirkus Reviews

Chinese literature is tough to find in English. One editor hopes to change that The novel Women Seated is a thriller about a nanny for a rich family and a kidnapping gone awry. It's the first in a new effort to redefine the types of Chinese literature get translated into English.

"For a long time, the perception of Chinese literature among Western readers has been quite fixed. It's often seen as either heavily influenced by Chinese culture, or focused on people living rural, impoverished lives. Which has nothing to do with our lives today."
