I read this for a college English course. Honestly, I don’t remember what I thought of it, though I do remember thinking that there were certain passages that I thought were nicely poetic. Like you, I also liked her interpretation of Chinese folktales. Sorry this didn’t really do it for you.

P.S. Happy New Year! (hey, better late than never. Lol)

Interesting. I've never heard of this book. I think it's a good choice for Women Unbound especially since it takes a look at traditional and modern Chinese values and women's changing roles. .-= Mrs.B´s last blog ..Winter Scenes =-.

Sorry you didn't like this one. I hate being frustrated by books. I hope your next pick will be more satisfying. .-= Julie´s last blog ..We Need To Talk About Kevin =-.

Bummer! I have this one on my shelves, and I also stimulated the economy to get it. Hope it goes better for me, though I’m not positive it will!

Sounds like a love-it-or-hate it kind of book. Some aspects of it sound so interesting, I might have to give it a try at some point. .-= Ali (worducopia)´s last blog ..Short Story Mondays: Brokeback Mountain =-.

I like the idea of blending with folktales but it does sound a bit complex. I hate choppy writing

This comment made me chuckle ;D

I’m currently looking for more interesting books for the China challenge. Too bad this one doesn’t have glowing reviews from you.
