Beijing Doll by Chun Sue

3.0

chinese novels are strange in their memoiry fictiony-ness. candy, shanghai baby, and now beijing doll all read as fictionalized autobiographies, which is a "genre" that usually drives me crazy. but it's also an interesting read to get a different perspective, see what life is like in a different country, and, if you're a writer, to learn a different style of writing. at times the story got boring and repetitive, but it would be worth reading, even if you didn't finish it.
