But when Hongmei's husband finds them together one evening, their dreams of a life together begin to fall apart.Hard Like Water is a novel of immense emotional force from one of China's greatest contemporary writers, a universal human drama about the nature of power and the dangers of hubris, as well as the freewheeling momentum of love and sexual desire.
