I was reading this for #BookedInTime when the details started to seem familiar. Checked LibraryThing and turns out I had read it in 2014. According to my review I was just meh on it then too so I‘m moving on.
so-soLove in a Fallen City was the first in the Eileen Chang Author Spotlight group read. An interesting author to meet for the first time and quite unlike any other writer I‘ve read. Two stunning short stories, the rest were novella length and good but not brilliant imo.
The Author Spotlight Series are organized by @HardcoverHearts

pickInformative. Mostly focuses on India and China (and colonialism) but also covers a lot of time and a few other places.
pickI devoured this book in two sittings only because it was midnight on a work night when I hit 200 pages. Many emotions circled through as I read this story as it completely pulled me under. The power women took back despite the little power they had was a testament to their strength.
