Dinu Li - Mother of All Journeys
This is a journey from China to England; it is a reflection on identity and the passage of time.

Inspired by the memories of Li's mother, the story is told through photographs, personal recollections, and family snapshots.
Dinu Li is a British Chinese photographer. He has exhibited mainly within the UK but also in China. This is his fourth book. (Previous books Bohemia; Ten Thousand Li; As I Were A River: Immaculate Drowning.)
Hardcover: 91 pages
