Absolute trash of a story. The only redeeming feature of this book was that the Chinese was simple enough to get me back into the habit of reading fiction in the language. I wanted to give up multiple times, but thought I should persist so that I can have an unbiased opinion when I wrote this review.
The number of sexist and racist comments in this novel is nauseating. One of the sentences towards the end of the novel reads as follows, "A woman will always be a woman; if you give her a chance, she'll show you her true colors. I have a feeling that XYZ will abandon her career ambitions and return to the kitchen to become a good wife." Kill me now.
