One hundred years after the war of Martian independence, as relations between the two worlds grows incresingly tense, a delegation of young Mars residents, including Luoying, the granddaughter of the governor of Mars, are sent to live on Earth for five years, in an attempt at reconciliation. Five years later they return to Mars caught between the two worlds, always under suspicion, and unable to reconcile the beauty and culture of Mars with what they experienced on Earth. This coming of age novel is narrated from two perspectives: Luo Ying, an eighteen-year-old girl from Mars who has spent the past five years on Earth, and Ignacio, a filmmaker in his late twenties from Earth on a job to document the delegates from Mars. Both Luo and Ignacio are trapped between worlds, with critics all around, searching for where they truly belong.
