In the twilight years of the Tang Dynasty, a young girl is given up by her mother and orphaned before she is five years old, yet rises to become one of the most famous and celebrated women of her age. Lily's childhood is a place of pavilions and temples, lakes and snow-capped mountains, sages, scholars and poets. But her world is also founded on ancient cruelties and injustice. As Lily struggles for freedom, she uses her gift for invention to transform herself from wilful daughter to adored concubine, from notorious courtesan to great poetess. Then, as the barbarian hordes gather for invasion, the fate that has always awaited Lily draws near...

Based on historical fact, Passing Under Heaven is more than the story of the end of a love affair: it chronicles the passing of the Chinese golden age into civil war and ruin.
