Summary: You do not have to be Chinese to appreciate this story
Comments: The setting is China, however the story is universal. It is about love of family. The importance of loyalty and bra. The heroine in the book is written beautifully. Ething about her is realistic and you feel her pain, lonliness, her longing. The story is also exciting and the book leaps along. Not a boring moment in it. Highly endorseed for all ages. |
