I like to grab a book in the stack (of those waiting to be read) without even taking a look at the 4th Uncover '. I chose this one based on the title and the smiling face of the cover, I'm uneducated I did not know the author. "Perfect to start the summer" I said to myself naively. The first chapter I quickly returned to my place, but without making me win, quite the contrary. I plunged with all the characters, great uncles, small daughters-animal goddesses, big sisters and infamous stepmothers, and of course the little brother. I, who am not used to Chinese literature, I admit I had at the beginning a little confusion with the exotic names of the characters, but it did not last, the author portraying so that they are easily recognizable. The faint of heart before the violence of the depicted reality, I browsed the history and history with compassion and admiration of these characters and this people face the successive events, whether famous or intimate. The fineness of writing happens to all pass, even worse, it will not prevent the tears from falling in places. This book touched me and educated to the highest point.
