Dragonwings: Golden Mountain Chronicles: 1903 (Golden Mountain Chronicles) by Laurence Yep
This is one of those stories that makes a reader feel like...I dunno, like they've just chewed the words, like a cow chews cud...reading it was like chewing a handful of Goldfish until it made a substantial paste...The paste to which I refer (in quite a demented way, for which I must apologize) is a texture that can only be achieved by an author who knows how to handle historical fiction.
Although several passages seemed unpleasant--largely due to the well rendered pain and injustice experienced by the narrator--this was a good childhood read, and an important one (as far as broadening one's perspective is concerned).
