A review by faeden
Once on a Moonless Night by Dai Sijie

4.0

There is something very unusual about this book in the way the author moves through time and the characters. A couple of times I found myself becoming a little detached because I'd start feeling a little lost, but the beautiful writing kept me and brought be back when that happened. I read this quite slowly and I'm not sure if that was a good or bad thing. I very much recommend this book and suggest that the reader try to just allow the writing to wash over them as Dai Sijie has the ability to transport you to another place and time.
