There, they discover the magic of reading and romance, as a way to keep their souls alive. (  ) caroren | Feb 6, 2010 |  The type of book you keep thinking about and thinking about after you close the book. Would make a good book for group discussion. Recommended. (  ) debnance | Jan 29, 2010 | gorgeous ( ) sibyx | Jan 10, 2010 | This was an easy read, but I'm not sure what to make of it. I found its style deliberately simple, with a strong opinion about its protagonists' situation, yet at the very end, like a good O'Henry story, everything twisted around. ( ) ffortsa | Dec 25, 2009 | This was a great book that was a quick read, which I tried to stretch out, it was so interesting. I didn't know about this Chinese history, ie the re-education of the "intellectuals" and it made me appreciate the freeness of access to literature we have here in the western world. I think that this story has universal appeal and recommend it highly. ( ) upatree | Dec 13, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
