Chinese historical fiction is still kind of a new genre for me. One I didn't think I would really get into, but I find that I really do enjoy these books. This one was really well written and sad. It's set in present day, but also in the past through reading her mother's history. The sad part, is, of course, that her mother appears to have Alzheimer's, which hits a little close to home. This book really does have it all, marital strife, dealing with older parents, etc etc. If you enjoyed The Joy Luck Club, you'll like this one. Heck, just read it. :)
