This was a very interesting book written in an unusual manner. I really enjoyed it. While it wasn't a page turner, it was well written but again, the style is a bit unusual. If you are looking for something different and thought provoking, you should definitely give this one a try. It may not be for everyone but I really enjoyed it...particularly the prose and the unexpected ending.
Set in 8th century China, this fascinating novel follows heroine Greenpearl who is kidnapped from her wealthy home by Tibetan raiders and sold into slavery
"An entrancing, many-layered tale painted with the delicacy of a Chinese landscape....In evoking the life of eighth-century China, its poetry and legends, its resonance and richness, Silk Road is a complete joy to read." --New York Newsday
