Lord's first novel of China, Spring Moon (1981), was a resounding success; her second is every bit as spellbinding even as it reflects the traumatic realities of modern China from the barbarities of the cultural revolution to the horrors of Tiananmen Square.
Lord is as adept at dramatizing cultural upheaval as she is at depicting affairs of the heart as she relates all the adventures, catastrophes, and bitter ironies that rule the lives of her protagonists.
I'm surprised that Bette Bao Lord is considered a distinguished writer because her writing lacks cultural authenticity and creativity.
