Masterpiece by a Nobel Prize winner - - This was one enjoyable read! I didn't want it to end although it pulled at my heart strings and made me teary-eyed in parts. The book offers a great historical account of pre-revolutionary China. When examining pre-revolutionary China, the American reader will develop an appreciation of our blessings in this life. The book depicts all kinds of love (marital love, parental love, friendly love, physical love). The book also follows the progression of life from youth, to adulthood, to the elder years. One of the best that I have read in quite some time. Should be on every college student's required reading list and every adult's to-be-read list if they missed it in high school or college.
