mazza57 's review for:

I Am China by Xiaolu Guo

4.0

---

This is a fabulous, almost undefinable book. It tells the story of Deng Mu and Kublai Jian both in their struggle with China and its political state and in their love. Told by their translator who finds herself submerged into their lives. Beautifully written, evocative, descriptive phrasing that is wonderful and a real tension in the writing. There are loads of things that i would want to pull out of this book.
