This was a school book. It was also a good book. It wasn't necessairly over the top ph
enomanal, but it was most positevly worth reading. It begins with a short chapter that is somewhat confusing and leaves you wondering. The next chapter is much more clear, following a woman in her thirties and seeing how she deals with a dwindling romance, an aging mother, and a life of secrets. Her mother is a Chinese immigrate and her story is told in first person. It is very seductive and very intriguing. The general concept and organization are unique, or at least to me. I enjoyed it because I can't think of another book similar to it. Even though I am not generally all that interested about Chinese history and culture, it was a more universal story than that. Overall: A-
