In “A Cup of Light,” Nicole Mones returns to contem­
porary China and the antique art world. She brings her
extensive knowledge of that country (where she began
doing business in 1977) to an exquisitely wrought, absorb­
ing, highly personal story that moves through the veiled
world of imperial porcelain, where China’s soul resides in
its art, and resolves at a place where one must choose
between the perfect love of objects and the exhilarating yet
fragile love found with other human beings.
