Book Review of Wintry Night (Modern Chinese Literature from Taiwan)

Wintry Night (Modern Chinese Literature from Taiwan)

This is a fascinating story about the struggles of a group of settlers in rural Taiwan and covers a 60 year period involving the occupation of the Japanese up to WWII. I found the description of Hakka family life and the Taiwanese culture and legal system particularly compelling.
