Helpful Score: 1
Published originally in 2000 in France,it immediately became a best seller. Translated to English by Ina Rilke and released in 2001.
A thoroughly delightful book set during the cultural revolution. Two city boys are sent to a small mountain village for re-education. The author himself was re-educated between 1971-1974.
If you enjoy books by Lisa See and Amy Tan, then I would recommend this one. Quote from The Boston Globe, "Gives the rest of the world a glimpse into that dark place where the human spirit continued,against all odds,to shine its light."
