cnvair 's review for:
A Map of Betrayal
by Ha Jin
For a book about a spy with two families and a mistress, this is written in the most practical and undramatic prose imaginable. For the most part, that's a good thing; the story hums along and provides a nice exploration of China without theatrics, but it did leave me with a major sense of disconnect from the characters. I can't say this moved me at all, but it was very readable and I enjoyed this little sojourn out of my usual vein of fantasy and sci-fi.
