“A captivating and beautiful story. It reflects the many intricate and fascinating questions surrounding life, love, loyalty, honor and death in a time and place defined by war. (Go itself is war miniaturized in time and place.)

“This book broke my heart. I read a review that praised the author's "economy of language" and that describes it perfectly. With only the most essential of words she creates a love story against the background of a cruel war and leaves her reader stunned by the naked truth she describes. Indescribable, one of the best books I have ever read.”

“I absolutely adored this book. As with most novels our reaction depends on being in the right mindframe for the book in front of us...That being said this is a beautiful little tale of China during the 1930's and the effects his has on some children living in a remote village.”
