The storyline was interesting and it had wonderful characters. However, the story was very disjoined due to all the switching which made it hard to follow. I like how poetic the book was at times and I certainly learned more about Chinese culture, just the layout of the book made it difficult to get the message. Also, not thrilled about the ending.
Graphic: Child death, Abortion, and Death of parent
Moderate: Sexual assault, Sexual violence, and Murder
