this continues to be very interesting. I enjoy the (historical fiction) biography. I am hoping to read _Embracing the Firebird_ before the year is out.

This is a good read, especially due to the interspersed translated poetry of the (real life) main characters.

This is very good but I have to keep reminding myself that it is historical fiction and not a biography. However, the poetry is the author’s translations of actual poems by the realーlife people in the story.
