A boy and a girl ventured into a cave from opposite sides of a mountain and unexpectedly meet. They decided to exchange routes out, and...maybe...their lives altogether. Little did they know, they were inside a giant's body and wouldn't see each other again for decades.

Years later, Jade, now a young mother, arrives in the boy's village with her young daughter and opens a club called The Sea Breeze Club. A cement factory is about to be set up here, although the protest against it is heated, she still recognizes the business opportunity.

The Sea Breeze Club proves to be a success. It becomes a hub of activities for diverse people: foreign engineers and workers, local indigenous villagers, government officials all gather here, while the machinery at the mining sites continue to dig into the mountain the club stands.

Then, a typhoon hits the island. As the silent giant crumbles from decades of mining scars, what choices will they face, and what destiny awaits The Sea Breeze Club and all the people there.

THE SEA BREEZE CLUB is the long-awaited novel of Wu Ming-Yi, the Man Booker Prize-longlisted author whose works have been translated into 20 languages. Eight years in the making, Wu returns with an absorbing novel set in the 1990s Taiwanese protest movement against the Asia Cement Corporation.
