Narration In Pursuance Of Books Do Not Say We Have Nothing

“In a single year, my father left us twice. The first time, to end his marriage, and the second, when he took his own life. I was ten years old.” Master storyteller Madeleine Thien takes us inside an extended family in China, showing us the lives of two successive generations—those who lived through Mao’s Cultural Revolution and their children, who became the students protesting in Tiananmen Square. At the center of this epic story are two young women, Marie and Ai-Ming. Through their relationship Marie strives to piece together the tale of her fractured family in present-day Vancouver, seeking answers in the fragile layers of their collective story. Her quest will unveil how Kai, her enigmatic father, a talented pianist, and Ai-Ming’s father, the shy and brilliant composer, Sparrow, along with the violin prodigy Zhuli were forced to reimagine their artistic and private selves during China’s political campaigns and how their fates reverberate through the years with lasting consequences. With maturity and sophistication, humor and beauty, Thien has crafted a novel that is at once intimate and grandly political, rooted in the details of life inside China yet transcendent in its universality.

The low reviews feed into my own insecurity that this book would become too complicated and I'd get frustrated. The high reviews kept nagging at me. Actually Michael's review inspired me most!!! Rather than purchase the book, I downloaded the ebook from the library from the comfort of home. There were times when reading Madeline Thien's novel, I found myself remembering two other

Ai Ming unearths a collection of notebooks written by Marie's deceased father, among which is the Book of Records - a story handwritten by Ai Ming's father. With Ai

If there's one thing I love it's a multigenerational family epic from a different culture, which is an actual genre that I only sortof made up. The thing with books like this is they give you a sweeping overview of a wide swath of history in someplace like, say, China - or Korean Japan, or Chile, or whatever - without being a boring nonfiction book. This one traces Chinese history from the Cultural Revolution of the 60s, which was awful, through to the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989, which

I read this for my real world book club. It had been on my to read shelf but I suspect Id have never gotten to it, so Im glad that it was chosen for a book club selection. This is the perfect book to simultaneously read both paper and audio editions. Chinese characters to see and Chinese pronunciation to hear. I did that with CDs through disc 3 of 17. If I had been able to download an audible file on my phone Id have continued reading this way but the CDs slowed me down too much. When using them
