'In a vivid past life in ancient China, Syn was drowned in a pig's basket for committing adultery.  Now a soothsayer warns that she will never find happiness in love.
When Syn journeys from Old Shanghai to the streets of modern Sydney and becomes entangled in a steamy and dangerous affair with Zhu, history threatens to repeat itself.  Troubled by her past, a woman in the grip of passion, Syn is also full of hope for the future.'
