This was my oldest book registered by other bookcrossers. I received this one in 2005 and i am glad to say i have finally read it.

After reading it for a while I started to realise this story was very familiar to me. Then I remembered I had already read about this in another book called In a Child's Name by Peter Maas which was a very good book.

This was not bad but not as good as peter mass his book but I still enjoyed it.
Maybe if i had read this one first it would have been different. not show more sure.
What to read next. I've read 13 books already and it is only January 31th today.

This is a great introduction to Chinese literature with a wide variety of selctions from which to choose.
