Distant Sunflower Fields by Li Juan

reflective slow-paced

3.5

I appreciate the reflective quality of the writing, but it often felt too uneventful, too slow. Unlike Winter Pasture which narrated a kind of adventure, this book consists of mediations that arose during Li's time growing sunflowers. It did offer a glimpse into an otherwise unknown world, but the pacing was too slow for me to rank it higher.
