Book at Bedtime - The Uninvited - Episode 5

The Uninvited By Geling Yan, read by Neil Dudgeon. 5/10. Dan has decided it's time his wife, Little Plum, has a go at a banquet. But while she's grappling with the shark's fin soup, Dan's reputation as the peasants' champion turns up to bite him. This first novel in English by a Chinese journalist is an extraordinary evocation of modern Chinese life, the apparently booming economy, the huge gap between rich and poor, and the omniprescence and corruption of the party. Abridged and produced by Chris Wallis.
