Book Reviews of Lust, Caution: The Story
Book Review: A Woman's Heart
Summary: 5 Stars
It is difficult to fully appreciate the significance of this short novel in the English translation, and so for people who may not understand the original Chinese version, the key to understanding it is to watch the uncensored version of the film by Lee Ang as well. The sex scenes draws one's attention to the innermost feelings and thinking of a woman in love. Although the story was about a woman dedicated to a political cause and who was prepared to give up her life for it, ironically, gave it up for love.The story reveals in a sensual way, the mind and desires of a woman, and how she responded to the conflict between heart and mind; and how in a crucial moment in which in a briefest of time, she had to make a choice between duty and dereliction. No one reader may agree as to whether her choice was right or wrong, whether it was noble or foolish, but many will surely understand a woman better for it.
