Summary: 5 Stars
If you can call crying through the last 60 pages, and jotting down each lovely Chinese phrase, loving a book -- I certainly did. Impossible to put down and beautifully written, I recommend this journey to everyone. You will not be sorry for having taken the time to read Bo Caldwell's amazing achievement.Book Review: DISTANT LAND OF MY FATHER...GOOD BOOK
Summary: 4 Stars
THE BOOK IS A NOVEL WRITTEN AS A MEMOIR. THE CHARACTERS ARE VERY REAL AND WELL DRAWN. I CARED ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM. THE RELATIONSHIPS WERE REALISTIC. THE CHINESE HISTORY AND THE DESCRIPTIONS OF SHANGHAI WERE MOST INTERESTING. THIS IS A "MUST READ".Book Review: WWII Shanghai - love and war
