This is a beautiful story that draws you in from the first chapter. The journey of two young men from their city lives to the remote countryside of China during the Cultural Revolution takes us to a place of finding oneself and the impact that good literature has on the way you see life. Wonderfully written, this book will wrap you up in a time where seeking what's truly important to you is the most daring task. It's an easy and enjoyable read that will inspire even the most novice reader to pick up another book.
I may have missed the authors purpose for the book but the story was a little flat for me. Although I enjoyed learning about what was happening in China during the era. I got a sense of how the people dealt with the dictatorial political climate. As far as a love story it was sweet but I thought there should have been more depth to the whole book. Left me waiting for the real conflict to begin.
I enjoyed this story, it kept my attention. I highly recommend this author. He has wonderful stories. The depth of his character keeps you engaged in the story~
very interesting
