This book was so slow going for me, and I'm not even sure why, because slow books aren't always read slowly, but this both felt slow and took long to read. 

Anyways! 
The book is a story about a woman who never tells her story, but we still get to know her through the men who love her. I think I would have connected more with her and her story if she'd been able to tell it herself, but I'm not sure that was the intention of the author, and I'm fine with that.

I liked the Chinese setting and how different it is from other books, both in use of language and how things are described. I didn’t like the chapter from the dogs' POV, it felt like things needed explaining and that that was the easy way to do it. I also really didn't like the character Pastor Billy.
