A review by ceels
Moment in Peking by Lin Yutang

5.0

I read this while living in Beijing in 2001. It was one of the few books in English that I could get my hands on, and I was transported. I really felt like it added to my understanding of the place I was living in, and it certainly filled in a few gaps in my knowledge of history.

I tried reading it again later, when I was home, but found it hard to get into.
