Well, all in all , the book was really good :) Keeps you guessing till the end as to what will happen next. It is a story of a Chinese military doctor Lin and his wife Shuyu and his so-called girlfriend Maana Wu. Lin and Maana want to get married and so Lin go every year to meet his wife Shuyu to ask for a divorce. They go every year to the court for the divorce but at the end, Shuyu always answers No. This happens atleast 3-4 times in the book.
Well, the funny thing is after reading the entire book, I almost felt so angry on the three characters. About Maana for being such an idiot and waiting for almost 18 years, about Lin who is roaming around with Maana and ignoring his wife Shuyu just because she is not good looking ( but Shuyu is the one who took care of his ailing parents and did everything for him) and Shuyu for being so patient. Well that's life I guess. Different people with different personalities! But it's a nice novel to read about China and Chairman Mao and the cultural revolution
