Chin's
imaginative
dexterity
is
evident
from
the
outset
of
this
enthralling
novel
A nicely mischievous cacophony . . . by turns brutal, arch, sensuous and bawdy
Wildly original, imaginative and fiercely beautiful
Nothing if not inventive . . . a riotous debut. Chin has a keen eye for the duality immigrants can experience, portraying it with humour as well as pathos
Revenge of the Mooncake Vixentells a compelling tale while examining the art of storytelling itself . . . Some sections of the book read like romances or folk-tales, while others crackle with snappy dialogue and youthful exuberance
A delightful and rather intoxicating book. Chin has a unique voice which enchants, surprises and beguiles
Such double happiness! Marilyn Chin in new, top form. What fun!
