Review # 1 was written on 2008-07-31 00:00:00 Joe Wittman This is the first book I have read by Aimee E. Liu. It was hard to put down. An American woman falls in love with a Chinese scholar studying in America. They marry in the only place in America that allows interracial marriage. After a short time living in America, trying to overcome Chinese racial hatred and failing, the family moves to China, facing this time, American hatred. Hope moved to China for the love of her husband, who is dedicated to the Chinese revolutions throughout the years, working for the many rebellions against Manchu rule, Mikhail Borodin and Chiang Kai-shek. Paul is torn between the love and traditional culture of his country, (in addition to freeing China from autocratic rule), and his American wife and children. This is a fascinating, historical novel. I am looking forward to reading more by Aimee E. Liu.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-07-06 00:00:00 Michael Wandel What to say? Well, I'm bored with this one, it's as simple as that (and I really dislike when people use the phrase, "I'm bored"). I'm 170+ pages in and I have no burning desire to sit down with it and for those who know me, I always have a burning desire to get back to a book. I'm not quite sure why I've lost interest but to be fair to the book, it might not be the right time to read this book. Sorry this review isn't more constructive.
