Waiting by Ha Jin

3.0

A story about love under Communist China that was so...slow...Though the pace was probably intentional to simulate the title and theme of "Waiting", I struggled to finish because the plot became predictable and repetitive. I wish the author went deeper into the historical and political elements to enrich the romantic plot. Otherwise, it felt like they were just there to entice an American audience less familiar with Chinese history.
