Daughters of the Bamboo Grove
Excellent...entrancing and disturbing... [Barbara Demick] is one of our finest chroniclers of East Asia. She hammers together strong, solid sentence after strong, solid sentence — until the grandeur of the architecture comes into focus. Demick’s characters are richly drawn, and her stories, often reported over a span of years, deliver a rare emotional wallop.
