Elea nor, recovering from an eye operation, feels her whole world seems to have gone out of focus. She finds herself unable to communicate with her present family and turns instead to her past; to the sharp-tongued ghosts of her dead mother and grandmother silenced only by the ironic, affectionate voice of her former best friend Jane whom she contacts again after five years; and by the indefinable love she has for Toh in the one-room apartment in Chinatown: their Mainland.
