'Sour Heart' is a collection of seven linked short stories narrated by young Chinese-American girls living in New York City in the '90s.

A long period of distress and anarchy, in which empire, and arts, and riches, had migrated from the banks of the Tiber, was incapable of restoring or adorning the city; and, as all that is human must retrograde if it do not advance, every successive age must have hastened the ruin of the works of antiquity.
