In chapter 11… I’m really wondering how the Chinese state hasn’t gone after the protagonist for her interest in such a forbidden subject as the Tianamen massacre…. Of course that might reveal my misunderstanding of how policing works in the PRC.

Is this truly a novel, or a surreptitious way to educate the young generation about the Tianamen massacre? A few years ago I met a Chinese PhD who literally had never heard of the events in Tianamen and didn’t believe me or others when we told her about it. She would have benefitted from this book. In fact, I’m learning a lot of new things myself.
