    <body><![CDATA[<p>It's hard to start with a brilliant writer's recent books and go back to the ones she wrote when she was only pretty good, or not really good at all.  My main objection is the badly thought-out use of China, Chinese people, Chinese stuff, as a metaphor for the unrealized potential of the white Ameri...</p><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71101382">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A novel set partly in China in the years leading up to the Tinanmen Square massacre. One of the blurbs praised its &quot;delicately interlocking worlds of personal and public politics,&quot; but it didn't do so nearly as well as Bette Bao Lord's The Middle Heart.

    <body><![CDATA[This tale -- of a woman who finds solace from her unhappy relationships in China -- is not one of Barrett's best.

    <body><![CDATA[Okay, nobody is perfect.  This novel of Andrea Barrett's falls a bit short, but only in comparison to her other works.  The novel is well-written, and the plot is moderately interesting.  The setting, in China is appropriately exotic for the plot to work.  A bit cliche.]]></body>
