3.0

This is a satirical novel about a woman trying to get redress for a relatively minor slight (her husband treating their sham divorce meant to circumvent the one child law as real and marrying another woman) and being failed repeatedly by officials talking big about protecting the people while only caring about their own position. Parts of this are really funny and you have to respect the main character’s can-do attitude in the face of everything, but I didn't really care for the ending.
