I Am China by Xiaolu Guo

4.0

The novel is so well written. The letters between Jian and Mu are often filled with such beauty, and the third person perspective works wonderfully with the unfolding story. I really liked the use of several different tales mixing with one another, each of them coming to the forefront of the novel at intervals. The use of different cultures, and the way in which Guo outlined them, were so strong.
