Roman C, Reviewer
This is a complicated book to navigate - it moves between time periods and the two identities of the protagonist who has buried her horrific memories of family trauma.
While it's fascinating to read a story of the land reforms in China - especially in a book which has been banned by the Chinese government for its sympathy for a landlord class - something about either the writing or the translation feel flat and very 'told'.
This feels an important book.
