I picked this little gem of a book up from a spring market where China herself was selling them. She signed my copy for me and I got free bookmarks and a little print to go with the copy. It was sat on my shelf for a while until I finally decided to pick it up. When I tell you this was one of the best pieces of fiction I have ever read I am not lying. I fell in love with the characters, early on and I have laughed when the characters have laughed and cried when the characters have cried. Please, if you love fiction just as much as I do, give the book a chance.
