Reviews

This is a delightful book . . . tells more than I ever imagined about the strangeness of being Chinese and a woman; it also gives a superb account of what it's like simply to be alive
*New Society*

A strange, enchanting book . . . As a manual of self-discovery through the channels and terrors of one's own rejected communal memory, it is unbeatable
*Guardian*

As a dream - of the "female avenger" - it is dizzying, elemental, a poem turned into a sword . . . reimagining the past with such dark beauty, such precision and anger that you feel you have saddled the Tao dragon and see all through the fiery eye of God
*New York Times*

A book of fierce clarity and originality
*Newsweek*

It [has] crossed cultural boundaries and fused literary genres in startlingly original ways
*Guardian*
