Willow Moon

by Michael Heath

A painting of the rare lunar eclipse known as The Willow Moon sells at Christie’s for a record price. The extraordinary history of the painting and its strange and wonderful journey to modern-day London leads the unsuspecting buyer back to 1872 and the Chinese village of Tián Shuĩ, where he discovers a violent story of courage, trust and the enduring love between Victorian trader Richard Covington and the beautiful Lihua.
