pickAn interesting historical fictional novel set in the 18th century in China. The characters were quite interesting. The explanations of many different aspects of life, such as religion. I liked the main character Li Du, was a librarian and very intelligent. He has wisdom to share. 4/5⭐️
I was reading this for #BookedInTime when the details started to seem familiar. Checked LibraryThing and turns out I had read it in 2014. According to my review I was just meh on it then too so I‘m moving on.
so-soLove in a Fallen City was the first in the Eileen Chang Author Spotlight group read. An interesting author to meet for the first time and quite unlike any other writer I‘ve read. Two stunning short stories, the rest were novella length and good but not brilliant imo.
