- Summary
- "When Sunny is born in rural China, her parents leave her in a slop bucket to die because she's not a boy. She survives and, at age fourteen, leaves for the city where she finds work in a factory and attends self-help classes in pursuit of a coveted office position. But when Sunny's attempts at self-improvement lead to calamitous consequences for a fellow worker, she questions the system she's spent her life trying to master. Savage, tragic and desperately funny, The World of Extreme Happiness is a provocative examination of individuals struggling to shape their destinies amid China's dizzying economic transformation."--Page [4] of cover.
