Intriguing blend of Wild West and Magical Realism. Not a normal genre for me, but the plot captured me enough to give it a go.

Ming, born an American, raised by a criminal, was ripped from the wife he loved. Thrown into the racist environment of building the western railroad, he escapes and begins a journey of revenge on the men who did him wrong, all the while seeking his lost wife. His travels bring him into contact with a travelling circus of miracles and an odd adventure explores not only the heart of a man, but how nature and nurture combine someone's personality.

Lin did a fabulous job with the writing, though I hated the ending, this book deserves that 4th star.
