"In Waiting, Ha Jin portrays the life of Lin Kong, a dedicated doctor torn by his love for two women: one who belongs to the New China of the Cultural Revolution, the other to the ancient traditions of his family's village. Ha Jin profoundly understands the conflict between the individual and society, between the timeless universality of the human heart and constantly shifting politics of the moment. With wisdom, restraint, and empathy for all his characters, he vividly reveals the complexities and subtleties of a world and a people we desperately need to know."--Judges' Citation, National Book Award "Ha Jin's novel could hardly be less theatrical, yet we're immediately engaged by its narrative structure, by its wry humor and by the subtle, startling shifts it produces in our understanding of characters and their situation."--The New York Times Book Review "Subtle and complex--his best work to date. A moving meditation on the effects of time upon love."--The Washington Post "A high achievement indeed."--Ian Buruma, The New York Review of Books "A portrait of Chinese provincial life that terrifies with its emptiness even more than with its all-pervasive vulgarity. The poet in Jin] intersperses these human scenes with achingly beautiful vignettes of natural beauty."--Los Angeles Times "A simple love story that transcends cultural barriers--. From the idyllic countryside to the small towns in northeast China, Jin's depictions are filled with an earthy poetic grace--. Jin's account of daily life in China is convincing and rich in detail."--The Chicago Tribune "Compassionate, earthy, robust, and wise, Waiting blends provocative allegory with all-too-human comedy. The result touches and reveals, bringing to life a singular world in its spectacular intricacy."--Gish Jen, author of Who's Irish? "A remarkable love story. Ha Jin's understanding of the human heart and the human condition transcends borders and time. Waiting is an outstanding literary achievement."--Lisa See, author of On Gold MountainBinding Type: Paperback

Finally! An SPF Hubby will wear!
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've bought my husband at least a dozen SPFs--everything from drugstore to premium brands--and he won't wear any of them. He's 64 years old with oily, extremely sensitive skin (rosacea and dermatitis), and a tendency to sweat a lot in the summer heat, as he's very active. As for SPF, he hates the white cast, how heavy it feels on his skin, and how his eyes burn when he sweats and the SPF gets in them. But I keep trying. Since Eucerin was the only SPF I was able to tolerate after radiation, I tried this one for him. It's the only one he's liked. There's some white cast initially but it settles quickly. He says the lotion doesn't feel heavy, hasn't caused any irritation or breakouts, and doesn't bother his eyes either. He actually wears this one!!! I'm thrilled! Thank you, Eucerin!

Good sunscreen
This sunscreen works well, and has coconut oil base, which is good for your skin. The cans have an adequate amount in them, but I would also like to see something twice their size, if that's possible.

Favorite Sunscreen
My son suggested this to me and it has become my favorite sunscreen.
I love the way it goes on when you apply it.
Give it a try and you will see what I am talking about.

Missing Expiration Date
I've used this sunscreen for years, and all bottles have an expiration date on the bottom; these did not have an expiration date stamped anywhere.
