Four Treasures of the Sky by Jenny Tinghui Zhang
5.0
5 stars for this book is too little, not enough. I cant even describe what I’m feeling as I read the last sentences… it hurts because it feels too real, and somehow too close to reality. But maybe because it was/is reality for so many people for so long :(
The writers words and thoughts are absolute gems, much better than a philosophy book. So many times I had to stop after a sentence and just give myself time to soak in the profoundness it was offering me. almost every day for two months I encountered with Lin Daiyu. I must say I feel for her. A lot. I will carry Dayiu in my heart for a long time.
PS: how great would it be to have a movie adaptation of this book (but with Asian cinematography characteristics and not Hollywood-ian)??! I can already see the narration and meeting both Daiyus and Nelson, Nam and Lum… I hope it happens
