September selection: "Homeseeking" by Kari ssa Chen

\n

Haiwen is buying bananas at a 99 Ranch Market in Los Ange les when he looks up and sees Suchi\, his Suchi\, for the first time in si xty years. To recently widowed Haiwen it feels like a second chance\, but Suchi has only survived by refusing to look back. Suchi was seven when she first met Haiwen in their Shanghai neighborhood\, drawn by the sound of h is violin. Their childhood friendship blossomed into soul-deep love\, but when Haiwen secretly enlisted in the Nationalist army in 1947 to save his brother from the draft\, she was left with just his violin and a note:&nbs p\;Forgive me.
