Young Fu of the Upper Yangtze

Young Fu of the Upper Yangtze

Award-winning
306 pages
Type: Historical fiction
Style: Fairly descriptive, intensely involves life lessons and old sayings, old-fashioned speech.

A well-written novel, a door into times, very accurate and capturing the old-fashioned Chinese times. Young Fu is a complicated, interesting character and his story is as well. It has a lot of life lessons that can be valuable to young readers.
Overall grade:

A good novel, some beautifully written sentences, good morals, solidly written, and portraying the main character, Young Fu, quite well. A good book to be enjoyed, but may be hard to read for some people. Overall, a good read.
