By Sylvia Vetta
Published by Claret Press

Synopsis

This memoir of fictional Chinese artist, Little Winter, is written for her American daughter. It takes the story of Communist China beyond the death of Mao and for the first time in fiction shows the birth of the radical art movement, The Stars, in 1979. 

Author's Biography

Freelance writer, author and speaker, Sylvia Vetta took up writing in 1998, when she began writing features for the award winning magazine of The Oxford Times. 
Sylvia has a lifelong passion for China. Her extensive interviews with Stars art movement founder, Qu Leilei, inspired her to write Brushstrokes in Time.

Jan Lee, Oxford Times: "Vetta's accomplished, harrowing, and powerful book is shot through with humanity."
