Family sagas are always fascinating, as opposed I would guess to family...lives. Or maybe not: isn't every family life a saga after all, with its joys, tragedies, choices, novelties, challenges? This one will take you from China to Hong-Kong and to England as the story teller travels in the wake of historical events and learns how to fend for herself, inheriting the fighting spirit and ambition of her ancestors. An interesting book, despite somewhat a lack of rhythm in the way it is written. Still, a pleasurable trip and source of wisdom that will do any reader good - keep your eyes out for those proverbs at the beginning of each chapter, they may turn to be useful in the course of your own family saga.
Perfect to read while lying on the couch and listening to the singing birds outside in the sunny patio this afternoon...perfect...
