Awards/获奖情况：凯尔从童年时娄把她从山洪中救起的那天起，就一直对娄怀有爱慕。凯尔聪慧而雄心勃勃，但在中国农村，人们期望她在家帮忙做家务、带弟弟，同时在学校保持名列前茅。
凯尔为自己的教育奋力抗争，直到一个悲惨的日子，她的弟弟走进即将来临的沙尘暴。凯尔冲进风暴去救弟弟，结果自己病得极其严重。
住院的经历激发了凯尔成为医生的志向。当娄似乎更关注凯尔漂亮的表妹而非凯尔本人时，凯尔一头扎进南京的生活。这座大型沿海城市让凯尔得以攻读大学学位。当娄的妻子患上骨髓瘤，凯尔需要决定自己是否愿意帮助这个女人，还是把娄据为己有。《绿洲》探索了奉献的力量，既是对所爱之人的奉献，也是对我们最初称为家的地方的奉献。
蔡•埃蒙斯小说奖获奖作品。
“《绿洲》是一部真挚且极具真实感的成长肖像，描绘了命运，且与中国农村生态破坏密不可分的年轻女孩。”——刘艾米，《光荣男孩》的作者
KAIER HAS CARRIED A TORCH FOR LOU SINCE HE RESCUED HER from a
flash flood when they were children. Kaier is a bright, ambitious child, but in rural China,
she is expected to help at home, raise her younger brothers, and be the best in school.
She battles for her education until one tragic day when her baby brother wanders out
into an oncoming dust storm, Kaier runs into the storm to save him and makes herself
desperately ill.
Kaier’s time in a hospital fuels her ambition to be a doctor and when Lou seems more
interested in her beautiful cousin than he is in her, she dives headfirst into life in Nanjing,
the large coastal city where she can pursue her university degree. When Lou’s wife
becomes sick with myeloma, Kaier needs to decide if she’s willing to help her or does
she want Lou for herself. Oasis explores the power of devotion, both to those we love and
those places we first called home.*Winner of the Cai Emmons Fiction Award.
“Oasis is a heartfelt and richly authentic coming-of-age portrait of a young girl whose
fate is inextricably tied to the ecological devastation of rural China after the Cultural
Revolution.”—AIMEE LIU, author of Glorious Boy
