Moving work of creative nonfiction, 2003-05-23
Always on the lookout for new Asian-American/Canadian authors, I was fortunate enough to stumble upon this book. Chao's book is set within the turmoil of China's Cultural Revolution. The protagonist, Hu Nu (Tiger Girl) endures brutal changes and events over the course of about 35 years. Chao is able to capture the political repression and the nature of the outdated attitudes towards women during that time. The author's language is quite poetic at times, and skillfully integrates recent Chinese history with Hu Nu's emergence as a woman. I enjoyed this book very much, and look forward to reading more of Chao's work.
