Chinese Whiskers is a modern fable and a window to the rhythm and texture of
life in the hutongs of Beijing as seen through the eyes of two cats – Tofu and
Soyabean. Interweaving real episodes in recent Chinese history such as the SARS
virus and tainted pet-food scandals with a richly imagined world, this
delightful story of cats and humans will make you laugh and tear up, and think
again about the battles that we all fight, almost every day, between the
corruption of modern living and the ideals of traditional life.
