Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Over the past decade there have been a smattering of literary novels that have defied convention and traditional reading demarcation lines by taking a grip on the masses...like Memoirs of a Geisha and Cold Mountain. The Rice Mother is one such book--A first novel of Eastern exoticism, myth and magic, and unforgettable characters, living and dead....You'll be hard-pressed to find a more powerful, moving read this year." --Glamour (UK)

"The Rice Mother exudes the fascination of another world.... It possesses a genuine intimacy and passionate involvement." --The Times (London)

"It would be difficult not to be seduced by the evocation of setting, family life, clothes, food and the intriguing mixture of myth, religion and superstition...there is a freedom and freshness in the manner in which the author explores the interior life of her characters...It possesses a genuine intimacy and passionate involvement." --Elizabeth Buchan
