Katherine by Anchee Min

4.0

Katherine is a work of art that introduces so many questions about the nature of love, resilience, imperialist, racism, and the human spirit. This is only the second book by Anchee Min I've read, the first being "The Cooked Seed." I can see how she mined parts of her life to write this novel. Her writing is clear, strategic, masterful. She can create images packed so tightly with meaning that you chew on them for some time. I may have found a new favorite writer!
