Reader comments
The writing style of this book is very unique, the writing is simple yet vivid, and it made me feel like I was in the Tianjin Hutongs of the 1920s and 1930s. The characters in the book have distinct personalities, especially the women of the Hou family. Their fate made me empathize with them. The author gave me a deeper understanding of that era by describing the life of the lower class society. This book is well worth reading!
