Jenny Tinghui Zhang: Four Treasures of the Sky (Hardcover, 2022, Flatiron Books) 4 stars

a gripping tale

5 stars

I enjoyed reading this a lot. It's good historical fiction about a sad part of history that isn't well-known. The writing flows well, the characters have character, and I feel that the author cares a lot about the material. My only issue with the book is that the cultural references are at times a bit too on the nose and stereotypical, therefore felt like pandering to a western audience. But it's my culture so I'm obviously biased here.
