jawjuhh 's review for:
Shanghailanders
by Juli Min
Was excited to read this book because it seemed totally up my alley, but unfortunately I found almost all the characters insufferable or uninteresting and I was really disappointed by how flat Shanghai (or Paris) felt as characters in the book. I was not into these rich ppl problems and the writing seemed skilled but never transcended. I enjoyed the chapters from the POV of the driver and the ah yi but neither of them focused on the central family. Go figure.
