Gold Mountain Blues by Ling Zhang

4.0

I picked this up in Hong Kong airport on my way to the UK (then Gran Canaria) for my summer holiday. This book grabbed me as I'd always wanted to know more about the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway (I'm from Canada). It was hard to get into at first and I think that the problems that the book has are really down to the translation. Sometimes things really do get lost. It was a really good read (if you like historical fiction). My only issue, was the poor translation.
