More China fiction, a particular interest of mine. This one about a boy who falls from a tree; his father who is interred because of the letter his grandfather wrote; and a homeless pregnant girl. Mao was so cruel, and I guess so many others were too. I am continually disappointed in the human condition.

Here's Suzanne the Pumpkin 😆 with some more of the Garden Club's donation to the library. The upstairs smells like a fragrant flower bed now. Lovely. People are sneezing a lot though...wonder if there's a correlation. 🤔 #LitsyLovesLibraries

Amazing book. Wonderful, believable characters with a smooth weaving of a tale.
