Spring Moon: A Novel of China
Readnmachine avatar reviewed on + 1440 more book reviews


Outstanding novel about a Chinese woman born to a prominent family at beginning of the 20th century and the end of the Dynasties. Publisher's Weekly called it "a Chinese Gone With the Wind". And while Spring Moon is no Scarlett O'Hara, she also lives in a world of beautiful women and elegant men, of order and beauty and tradition all of which are swept away before the story's end.
