Helpful Score: 2
This book was really well written and the stories are simply stated.
Each chapter is about a different woman, and Xinran's relationship to them (if applicable).
There's a few standout stories: one about a girl who kept a fly as a pet, and is heartbroken when she can't find it. It's a story told through letters between the girl and another friend of hers. The other one that stands out in my mind is the story of a woman who is a salvager, sorting through other people's garbage and selling what she finds. Xinran develops a friendship with her and eventually discovers some secrets about her life.
I don't want to give too much away about each story, so I'll leave it at that. This book was good enough for me to read several times before I decided to pass it to someone else.
