As the Cultural Revolution spreads across China, Moying searches for a way to make sense of the chaos and cruelty around her. She finds wisdom and solace in the sanctuary provided by banned books. Chronology, Glossary, Photos of author. I just discovered that I read this book ten years ago and had no memory of it. Wow. My review said the writing was "bland," and I'm afraid my opinion hasn't changed. To have completely forgotten a book, it must have made no impression on me. The thing is, the story is very interesting, but it doesn't move me in any way. For me, the narrative is very flat. To have read this twice with the same reaction and totally forgotten it, I must have a) had an interest in what it was like to live through the Cultural Revolution and b) gotten very little out of it. I often forget characters and whole plots, but not that I have read a book. I just think it could have been so much more. A moving and tense memoir about Moying Li's childhood in China, including quiet and peaceful times at home with family and at school with friends, to the trauma and heartbreak caused by the Cultural Revolution and communism under dictatorship in China. A true story that will reach young American readers looking to learn more about this important time in Chinese and world history from the perspective of a young girl, now an author living in Massachusetts. This title is a previous winner of the Massachusetts Book Award. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Then the soldiers dumped all our books into large hemp sacks that they pulled from the back of the truck. "The paper factory will turn this trash into pulp in no time," they announced. When Lao Lao tried to plead with them, a soldier just pushed her away. Dragging the sacks through our gate, they flung them, one after another, onto the open truck. Then, hurling Baba on top of the bulging bags, the soldiers drove away in a cloud of dust, leaving my grandmother filled with sorrow . . . No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
