bluerobyn123 's review for:
The Man from Beijing
by Henning Mankell
This novel's plot was definitely complicated, at times unnecessarily so. Following a Chinese delegation on an African trip was a long way from a remote Swedish village being decimated. Yes, all the details connected in the end, but it took a very circuitous route to get there.
I also feel Mankell used the link with modern China to expound his views on the internal tensions within the country between communist politics and capitalist economics. I want to read a novel for its action and mystery plot, not its political examinations.
