I also felt like it was realistic that things happened abruptly. It occasionally occurs to me that the relationships between characters or the events they experience seem insanely coincidental and I always rationalize it by remembering that of course authors are going to write about connected characters or characters who make a huge difference in the course of events. But there is something refreshing about an author writing a more believable story :)

Everything could change in a second and not all of us are destined for a glorious death.

I’m glad you liked the book, I liked it also (http://manoflabook.com/wp/?p=10202) and while we have a little difference in opinion, I believe we agree on the overall premise of the book.

If a character loves a book I love, it makes it easier for me to feel connected to that character. And if the story references a book I’ve read, I feel like I’m in on a secret. I love it :) Thanks for having me on the tour!

Thanks for being on the tour!

The writing was beautiful and it’s hard not to like a protagonist who reads :) I loved that the main character was reading Anna Karenina, because it made me pay attention to the ways her life paralleled Anna’s.

I think it’s a bit haunting so it’s perfect for a book with a ghostly protagonist :) I don’t think I’ve read many books set in China either and none in this time period, which includes some important world events I knew nothing about. I really liked that this meant that the book taught me things in a very memorable way, in addition to being a fun read.

You make it sound so good and curious about the Anna Karenina references.

Now that I’m thinking about it, I don’t know if I’ve ever read a book set in China other than Pearl S. Buck’s The Good Earth — 1920′s + mythology sounds like a winning combination to me :)
