I enjoyed reading a story specifically about world war two from a non European perspective (two of the main characters were American, however the story was set in China). The plot was very meandering which I love but isn't for everyone. The perspectives were just three male characters (apart from one very strange chapter) following a single woman. They are all obsessed with her, and selfish with their obsession, none of them seem to care about how she feels about them. Two of them rename her, however she doesn't like to be called by her birth name which adds layers to this, which I liked because I've seen this in other books but not with this added complexity. You never hear her voice and how she feels, sometimes the sexism is frustrating to read, but I think that everything was done for effect and was well written, rather than just lazy writing.
