I was reminded of some of Pearl Buck's writings. Like hers, the storytelling in this book is very accurate of the times. It is a wonderful story with believable characters and a strong, interesting plot.

What a delightful novel! Having never learned about this time period in my own schooling, I found this a wonderful way to breathe life into my own ignorance.

Li Bo’s novels are engaging, uplifting strolls through history, with the added treat of being able to hear the voices of figures you’ve read about in history books. What a delight!
