This is a wonderful book about Mao's Cultural Revolution and one woman's courage through tremendous hardship and persecution. It is quite a story and well worth reading. An excellent book!

I liked this better than many other Grisham novels. He is getting better at plot and characterization.

One of the strangest books of recent fiction I have read. I did enjoy the way the author gradually reveals the plot including several twists and turns. I picked this up for free--can't say I would buy it.

An interesting book. I knew nothing about Christian Scientists, so that aspect of the plot was different. Well-written.
