Anonim a dat nota:

A really interesting look into the lives of young women in modern day China. Despite the episodic character of the chapters it was a really enjoyable read.

Recenzii

"Its impudent, hand-on-hip attitude cannot fail to charm" New Statesman "Enjoyable, lively and well-presented" Financial Times "A feisty and funny rite-of-passage novel...I loved the protagonist, Fenfang, whose strength of personality allows her to blossom amid the crushing anonymity of Beijing" New Statesman "Funny and melancholy, scintillatingly observed, and has a very big heart" The Times "Xiaolu Guo is an instinctive, humane witness, her atmospheric, unusually physical narratives are alive and attractively insistent, inspired variations on the theme of quest ... Guo's observations will make you smile and remember; she will also nudge the reader towards thoughts about language, culture and the very business of living" Irish Times
