A review by cluckingbell
Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress by Dai Sijie

3.0

Engaging and quick little read, but its brevity may be its weakness for me. While I enjoyed the bright and clean writing style, there just wasn't enough depth to deliver on the (potential but not fully realized) themes. I do, however, feel compelled to read some Balzac now...or something else with the depth I prefer.
