Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Further proof that Li deserves to be considered among the best living fiction writers.” Kirkus Reviews
“Each narrator brings his or her story’s characters to life with unemotional voices that seem appropriate for Li’s emotionally stunted characters. The weight of the unhappiness central to each tale makes this a collection one will want to experience slowly, a story at a time, with a breather between.” AudioFile
