Anchor Books To Live: A Novel

After reading "Brothers", I became curious about this author. To Live is another intense description of the life of a Chinese family over 40 years starting at the end of the war against Japan and going through the various periods that followed. It puts things in perspective. Well worth the read. The author has made it in my list of top 10 authors.On a different note, I ordered the book used and as always, I am very satisfied with the quality/appearance of the book.

very beautiful book. the order came earlier than expected. totally recommend

Buen estado. Todo OK!

It is the first book that I have finished in English, and the story is so realistic and interesting. I hate reading, but love the book!

This was my first book from this author and was a great starting point for my newly found interest in Chinese writing. The characters are well developed allowing one to completely relate and empathise -'feel' their experiences. Because of his writing and the way the ending is put together Yu Hua masterfully managed to leave me okay with everything that had happened throughout the book and accept it as..well..life-but not manage to depress - leaving one still optimistic about good things to come.A definite must read!
