Being here unlocks something, not only in the connection between siblings but also between husband and wife, and the stories that Kwan has told, over the years, about the yin people and their lives in the mid-1800s come to have new meaning. In the tiny village of Changmian, far off the beaten path, with no electricity and no modern conveniences anywhere, the village where Kwan grew up, Olivia and Kwan's common, family history feels very close.

Kwan plans a trip home, to China, and Olivia and Simon, who have an assignment to write an article about the native food scene of China, join her-though separated, they still have a joint business they run, are still friendly with one another, and are trying to figure out what their relationship should be and whether they will get back together or not they are searching (or, more to the point, Olivia is searching) for something that went missing in their marriage long ago.

Add to this, her recent separation from her husband of seventeen years, Simon, and Olivia is having a bad time of things. This, due to Olivia's guilt at how she treats her sister, only exacerbates the frustration she feels with this relationship. Kwan, on the other hand, has nothing but unconditional love for her younger sister.
