    <body><![CDATA[95 RMB at Inmedio, 26/02/09<br/><br/>I much preferred The Good Women of China.  This book was okay, but not great.  It was a pretty quick read that gave me some more insights into the lives of ordinary Chinese people.]]></body>

It provides a view of life in China which is as much caught in the past as it is moving towards a different future. <br/><br/>I've reviewd the novel at <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://Amazon.com">Amazon.com</a> for thise interested: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://tinyurl.com/3cbqwh">http://tinyurl.com/3cbqwh</a>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/9640960">more...</a>]]></body>

Would have liked a follow-up book (even fiction) just to know what happened to the 3 sisters and what kind of lives they ended up with.  ]]></body>
