This book was ok. I enjoyed parts of the story very much but I was also disappointed by parts of it and I was left feeling quite unsatisfied at the end. There were aspects of the story that I wanted to hear more about, and I didn’t.
The story is of a Chinese man in Malaysia in the 30s and 40s. It tells the story from his son’s perspective and that of his wife as well as a close friend. I like the style of it, but I found the political aspects quite boring and the it was a little too elusive at times.
