I'm halfway through this amazingly-written novel. I've read quite a number of novels about modern China history, none of them could compare with Madeleine Thien's melancholic and achingly beautiful prose. I really hope it'll win the #ManBookerPrize2016 which will be announced later. 😘😍
Spiderfelt Sadly she didn't, but she did win the $25,000 Govenor General's award in Canada. 8y
brbamreading @Spiderfelt Perhaps next time she'll get it for her another masterpiece. :) 8y
Spiderfelt I have no doubt that unless she meets an untimely death, her career will be rich with works as elegant as this one. 8y
brbamreading @Spiderfelt Lol. Btw, have you read her other books? 8y
Spiderfelt Just one. We attended the same high school; she was in my brother's class. I love reading books set in Vancouver. She might be the only author I've read who has set their books there. I loved![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
