The Mountain Whisperer by Jia Pingwa
3.0
This is a story of the Mountain Whisperer. A man who has seen it all and still looks younger than everyone. He goes to the funerals of people and sings to make sure that their souls are at peace. It is a warm and compelling story. It is filled with rich and vivid details about the formation of People's Republic. The story was so visual that I could feel myself transfer back in time to the place where it was all happening.
I loved my journey with this book. Even though I am a fantasy reader and I am more about dialogues and communication - this book was still a winner. If you are someone who wishes to read more about the culture and history of countries, this book is a piece of art you should definitely give it a chance.
This was my first read on China and it's culture. It felt fresh and peaceful except some of the very disturbing death scenes. I am absolutely glad that I gave this book a chance.
