Arunsr1ni reviewed Bridge of Birds by Barry Hughart
A fictional work of a China that never was. Chinoiserie.
Review of 'Bridge of Birds' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
One of the most heartfelt, funny at times, fulfilling, beautiful, dark, mythological yet accessible books I've ever read. The book is fast and satirical at times. I'll need to write a longer review but all the highlighted passages.
Loved it through and through.
