Clara and Yuming's stories twine around each other, brushing very close but never quite connecting. Yuming, along with three other children, escapes from the factory and, eventually, makes her way home. Though readers might share Clara's hope of finding Yuming, Yuming's actions to save herself are ultimately more satisfying, and both characters get a reasonably happy ending.
Global and touching.
