excellent story of control; a mother who has it and a daughter who wants it at any cost even if that price is death.
Wonderful!

This novel is amazing--incredibly moving. The last paragraph reduced me to tears. I read this book over two weeks ago and I'm still thinking about it every day. Highly recommended!
Chinese yet un-Chinese handling of the story line,subtle.

Ying Chen writes with restraint and her novel has a strong effect of suffocation. The author is identifiably Chinese in the depiction of the husband and wife relationship, and un-Chinese in its ever so detached manner of description. The novel is very deep and meaning universal. Excellent reading.
