Book of the Lunar Year: full results
As announced yesterday Bamboo Heart by Ann Bennett has won the poll to find Asian Books Blog’s Book of the Lunar Year.
Most people simply voted, but some included comments explaining why they’d made their choice. Here are some comments typical of those made about Bamboo Heart:
The story is gripping, the characters well-drawn and believable and it is very well written.
A truly compelling read.
This was such a moving story, beautifully told, balancing a flavour of the place and time with a deep involvement in the lives of interesting, well-drawn and, above all, credible characters.
A wonderful uplifting read – a new perspective about the death railway.
