amiemarisa 's review for:
Four Treasures of the Sky
by Jenny Tinghui Zhang
“Sometimes,” she said “I think if I swallow things I love, they will grow inside of me.”
A truly poetic, powerful and gruesome journey of trading identity for survival. It is masterful in its phrasing, which brought the most unsavory scenes to the point of being repulsive. Those scenes are made palatable by the beauty of character’s mind, punctuated with metaphors of calligraphy. I don’t think I can stomach to read this again, but it’s beautiful work.
