It was an emotional read but one that was well worth it. The reality of the stories is eye opening and compelling. Strongly recommend it!<br />Kelly<br />from www.wearegraftedin.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04910258636674801379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7295309110117449262.post-90832924326991414502010-09-26T15:44:36.783-05:002010-09-26T15:44:36.783-05:00I saw a post about Xinran's book in the Spring...I saw a post about Xinran's book in the Spring on a blog and ordered it from the UK off of an Amazon link to an overseas bookseller. It is difficult emotionally to read, but amazingly well written and very thought provoking. Each chapter is a different tale. I could only take one story at a time. So much to process. I've searched out her other books from the library. I'm now a big fan.<br />~KellyMrs. Winnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07890646358518004696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7295309110117449262.post-34383312766021345802010-09-25T10:46:41.554-05:002010-09-25T10:46:41.554-05:00I've read Xinran's first book and was just...I've read Xinran's first book and was just gripped, particularly by the last story of the women who lived in a remote village and didn't have enough clothes for all the girls in the family to go out of the house every day, so they took turns. Yet, she said that of all the women she interviewed throughout China, this was the only group of women who seemed completely happy. I would love to read this book, but I don't have a Kindle, so I'll have to hope it comes out here in print.
