Customer Reviews

A powerful book

I read this novel over six years ago and it has stayed with me. The story is tightly told and vividly painful as Mei-Ling struggles to survive. She sells herself for safety and is beaten, raped, but still manages to overcome these problems in order to raise her daughter.

Captivating

Excellent thought-provoking book
