alex_rothschilds 's review for:
The House of Doors
by Tan Twan Eng
Fantastically written and utterly engaging. Its great to see Malaysian literature garnering deserved praise and recognition. Though the inclusion of Sun Yat Sen feels imposed, I still feel on the whole other elements make up for it. The inclusion of historical events and figures is excellently woven into a historical fiction narrative, and the liberal inclusion of viewpoints on love, sexuality, colonialism and the plight of 1900’s China is done well.
