jamesgoodwin1982 's review for:
The Woman Warrior
by Maxine Hong Kingston
challenging
informative
slow-paced
This is a book that was part of a university course I studied around 25 years ago. The book was on the reading list and I never read it, so I thought now would be the time to give it a go.
It's a challenging read and recounts several stories from the author's own childhood, growing up in America being of Chinese heritage, and her mother's background.
I found the writing challenging and very descriptive, this was at the expense of significant plot of dialogue to move the stories forward. Where there was dialogue I found I quite enjoyed the book but I'm afraid this one has far too much description for me.
An interesting semi-autobiographical work but I'm afraid not one I would recommend.
