A review by cuppa_curiositea
I Am China by Xiaolu Guo
5.0
*4.5
I adored every aspect and angle of this book! Though the ending does suffer a bit from the ambition of the novel, I felt like the story was constantly questioning my own life and thoughts despite the dissimilar backgrounds. Each character has a unique voice, but I like that we are constantly reminded that Mu's and Jian's voices are represented through Iona's lens. The writing is wonderful, but more than anything, this book is a fascinating dialogue on politics, culture, and art.
