Su Yen left Taiwan feeling hopeless and broken. In England, specifically in Oxford, her tutor introduces her to the sympathy, understanding, and beauty of English poetry and its potential healing power. Through the beauty of the language and the humanity of culture, she slowly revives.

This real-life story tells of a young woman from Taiwan, an interior designer, who comes to England for further study. She has two ambitions: to find a new meaning for her life, which has been broken by her experiences in Taiwan, and to immerse herself in the English culture she has read and dreamed about since childhood. Overcoming problems of lack of money and the difficulties of engaging with an unfamiliar language and culture, Su Yen achieves both her goals through her discoveries of the beauties and sympathy of English poetry, painting, and architecture, and the friendliness of many of the people she meets.

Su Yen's forgotten past is gradually revealed and healed with the magic of English poetry, which leads her to see the profound meaning of life. This book will appeal to readers with an interest in discovering English history and culture.
