review 1: Poetic and fanciful and beautiful and hilarious. Follows the experience of daughters of a hardworking immigrant family, and interweaves it with Chinese folk tales, Buddhist teachings, and history. Raunchy and feminist and confused and strong, it reminds me of the confusion we all carry when marrying our family and personal histories to our assertion of our own beliefs and values in the world! Easy to read, fun, nonsequiter. Pick it up!
review 2: This was kind of all over the place, the authors style was very unique to be sure and even sort of refreshing in a way because it was so different. But I worry most of this "differentness" was defined too much by its outright tawdriness to be enjoyable. It wasn't even sexy tawdry it was just sort of raunchyily indigesti... moreble and random. Some of it felt like a Chinese dream, it made me want to drink tea and eat moogoogaipan. less
