Recenzii
"Remains endearing and sensitive in its portrayal of the delicate relationships of the protagonists while scathingly indicting the revolution and its effect on the art and culture of China. . . . A refreshing divergence from the often redundant offerings in the world of Western literature." — Seattle Herald
"A compelling story . . . made all the more so by sharp dialogue and disturbingly vivid description. Evenly paced and with a deft touch for the intricacies of human relationships, it's the quintessential epic romance." — AsiaWeek
"Has the sweep and pang of a novel that keeps you up reading till dawn, then lives in your dreams." — Time
"Lee paints her story in broad, effective strokes, evoking vivid images. The book's sobering refrain—that there is 'nowhere to hide' from the tragedy of life—plays gracefully throughout the narrative." — Virginia Pilot and Star Ledger
"The story is one of unrequited love and betrayal. This book should be consumed like a cultural feast." — Stuff magazine
