The touch

"Lin Ju works as an acupuncturist, work that involves close contact with her patients. Yet her life, in a southern English town, is solitary. After a failed marriage, her estranged husband and her daughter, Tiantian, live in China. When she and Lucy, a patient, become close friends, Lin Ju's world is transformed. But soon, Lin Ju finds herself in a dilemma that stirs painful memories. For twenty-eight years she has tried to bury a secret - how, during the confusion of the Cultural Revolution, she betrayed the man who defied family and tradition to teach her his craft: her grandfather."
