"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

Just okay
Color: Grey Striped, Size: 72"W x 84"L (Pack of 1)
Okay curtain, not great, but not bad.
Looks like it has kind of a faint background design. Has a plastic type feel.
Looks okay.

Pleasantly Surprised!
Color: Grey Striped, Size: 72"W x 72"L (Pack of 1)
I was looking for this exact product but didn’t know it! We recently moved into a new home and had zero window treatments so needless to say I wanted something quick, affordable and not vinyl WalMart blinds. We are happy with our purchase and would highly recommend to others. Some complain of the adhesive not sticking- make sure to clean the window wells/walls etc prior to installing these. If the surface is free of dirt/grease there will be no issues with them staying put.

great quality pickle ball set of two
I really love the look of this pickleball set. The blue color and overall design look very stylish and premium. The quality feels great, and the portable carry bag makes the whole set even more convenient. I especially like that it comes with a bag because it makes it easy to store everything and carry it to the court. It also makes this set a great gift option for any pickleball lover.
This set includes two blue pickleball paddles along with balls and a convenient carry bag to keep everything organized. Since it comes with two paddles, it is perfect for playing a quick game with a friend or practicing together. It works well for both indoor and outdoor courts.
The paddles feel very well made. They are constructed with fiberglass, which makes them lightweight yet durable. Each paddle is around 8 oz, so they are easy to handle and comfortable even during longer games. The 13 mm polypropylene honeycomb core provides a nice balance of power and control while also helping reduce noise and vibrations when hitting the ball.
Another feature I really appreciate is the TPU edge protection. It helps protect the paddles from accidental drops and everyday wear and tear, which is especially useful if kids are also using them. The grip is another highlight. It has a cushioned and textured design that feels very comfortable in the hand. The breathable grip helps absorb sweat and prevents slipping, so you can play for longer periods without discomfort. The handle width also feels ergonomic and easy to hold, making it suitable for extended play.
The included carry bag is very practical. It easily fits the paddles and balls, and there is still room to add small items like a towel, water bottle, phone, or keys. It is comfortable to carry and makes transporting the set very easy.
Overall, I find this pickleball paddle set to be stylish, durable, and well designed. The quality feels great and it is perfect for beginners as well as casual players. I would definitely recommend it, and it also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who enjoys pickleball.
