    Required Reading
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2013*

A Novel where the central character is a symbol for the history of both Shanghai and China during a its recent past.  The novel is both fascinating and troubling as it reveals the almost unbelievable story of a young woman, Wang Qiyao.  Born in the longtongs of Shanghai her fortunes rise and fall as China experiences cataclysmic changes.  Her life is in many ways a reflection of those alterations in Chinese society as she grows and attempts to discover where she belongs. But more than anything, Wang Qiyao becomes the way in which the author personalizes the history of China.  Wang Qiyao may be the central character of the novel, but what really makes the work so compelling is the way in which its author uses her to explore the role of women and society.Ms. Anya's power of description of seemingly small things add a dimension to this novel that is unique, note for instance her portrait  of the longtongs of Shanghai, and her utterly beautiful description of a much beloved bird, the pigeon.The novel deserves a wide readership both for its extraordinary account of Chinese society during a period of revolutionary change crystallized during  forty years of Wang Qiyao's life.

    Eloquent author ...
  

*by O***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2010*

This book is about Shanghai and the people who reside there.  Anyi Wang not only describes the physical atmosphere so well you can vividly visualize it, but she evokes the emotion of the city.  You can FEEL Shanghai - the activity, the secret lives, the energy.  There were times I stopped reading so as to fully formulate the images she was painting in my mind's eye, not just the physical but the emotional as well, understanding the characters more deeply.Anyi is eloquent and provocative.  Her characters are fully fleshed out, both the good and the bad.  When you are finished with the book, even those characters who act reprehensibly at times are still human.  You feel for them, for their circumstances.  All her characters make mistakes but most all are redeemed, as they pay the price for their decisions.The story is winding, multi-faceted, covers a few decades and often spell-binding.  Definitely a book for a leisurely read and one for those who like personal detail, to fully understand a character.Recommended for mature teens and adults.  The reason I say mature teens is because it is not a fast-paced book.  The teen would have to be a perceptive person with an active mind who enjoys a slow, deep read.

this is not a good book. you don't get to know the characters and it might as well take place in arizona b/c you learn almost nothing about shanghai or china. don't waste your time.
