LOVED this book. It combined the two countries I like most to read about: China & Russia. The author's style is totally Russian too - dry humor, a ton of characters, loads of story lines... all the goodies that come with Slavic lit. Really intriguing time period too. Most people only think of the American version of the roaring 20s - this was the same time, totally different place and my understanding of this time period feels way more enriched because of it.
