Book Reviews of Women of the Silk: A Novel
Book Review: Women of the Silk is a memorable treat for the reader.
Summary: 5 Stars
Gail Tsukiyama's beautifully written book is the poignant story of life in rural China in the 1920's. The characters are so finely crafted that the reader feels every emotion -- the joy, the heartbreak, the drudgery, and the intense friendship of women drawn together by the bond of the silk factory. Gail Tsukiyama is a true artist, using her pen to draw detailed pictures which will stay in the mind of the reader long after the final page has been reluctantly turned.
A novel by Gail Tsukiyama is a rare treat which would best be savored slowly, if only the storyline was not so compelling!
