Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress: A Novel
3 journalers for this copy...
Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress is an enchanting tale that captures the magic of reading and the wonder of romantic awakening. An immediate international bestseller, it tells the story of two hapless city boys exiled to a remote mountain village for re-education during China’s infamous Cultural Revolution. There the two friends meet the daughter of the local tailor and discover a hidden stash of Western classics in Chinese translation. As they flirt with the seamstress and secretly devour these banned works, the two friends find transit from their grim surroundings to worlds they never imagined.

I got this from Bookmooch. I really liked it, although I wasn't real sure about the ending. So it goes. I'm going to throw it back into Moochland.

I got the book while on a bus ride home from work.
Really enjoying it so far. not finished yet but will be soon.
Its like my daily ritual to read it while on the bus to and from work.
Think I am going to post it to a friend who lives in South Africa, think that would be a awesome stop for an awesome book.
