- Summary:
- "Yanyan and Lulu are two women born in a slum on the south bank of the Yangtze River in Chongqing. One likes to read and gaze at the river, and the other always dances alone on the beach. They are poor, lonely, lacking love, longing for a distance, and fleeing from their hometowns, they travel to Rome. Love, dreams, and freedom is what they want, but they have to face their choices. They are not willing to be constrained by reality. They always have to sacrifice something. The novel features a wedding, with dreams and reality intertwined across time and space. A story that took place in Rome for only five and a half days, but connects two countries, two cities, two generations, past, present and future" -- Cataloger's abridgment, translation, and interpretation of the synopsis on the cover
- "燕燕和露露，兩個出生於重慶長江南岸貧民窟的女孩，一個喜歡閱讀與凝望江水，一個總在沙灘上獨自舞蹈，她們貧窮、孤獨、缺少愛，渴望遠方，隨時代的潮水逃離原鄉，泅向彼岸，相遇於永恆之城羅馬。愛情、夢想、自由，她們都想擁有，卻不得不面對選擇，既不甘於現實的束縛，總要付出點什麼，要愛情或是要成功，野心與快樂，如同熊掌與魚。從出生地到城市中心、到大都市北京，再到羅馬，貧窮與財富，良心與權力，自負暗藏自卑，榮耀伴隨寂寞。小說由一場跨國婚禮做引線，夢幻與現實交錯，跨越時間與空間，一個發生在羅馬僅僅五天半的故事，卻勾連起兩個國家、兩座城市、兩代人，過往、現在與未來...... 那些遺落在記憶深處的故事，化成了小說「燕燕的羅馬婚禮」；而十多年的義大利生活經驗，著墨為輕快的散文「羅馬六章」，羅馬對虹影意味著什麼？虹影說：羅馬對我意味著一切。" -- Back cover
