dawntin 's review for:

The Bridegroom by Ha Jin
3.0
reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

The short stories in The Bridegroom are all snippets of life in China after the Cultural Revolution, and the content and quality varies. I liked “The Bridegroom,” “The Woman from New York,” and “After Cowboy Chicken Came to Town.”
