Quotes from anonymous reviewers:
"I was totally engaged by this manuscript (The Water Lily Pond... I like the narrator, could hardly put it down and learned a lot."
"The Water Lily Pond focuses on the intricate blending of the young woman's life with the history of her country... The narrator's sweetness alongside her obvious intelligence is what gives the manuscript a special tone... It is this special tone that attracts the reader..."
~~
"... Nowhere does the story's interest depend on exciting drama. Yet somehow the reader is held by it from beginning to end. ... Both in its content and style, The Water Lily Pond suggests to the reader the image of a water lily: unadorned, soft-hued, delicate, yet durable."
--- University of Toronto Quarterly, 2006
~~
"A poignant narrative... Threaded throughout the narrative are proverbs, parables and anecdotes. Embedded in each story are multiple tales that illustrate that there is no single truth; rather, there are many histories and stories... She evokes the timeless ribbons of the Chinese countryside. The author combines memoir, narrative, story and history, skillfully blurring genres in an innovative story."
--- The Fiddlehead, Atlantic Canada's International Literary Journal, Autumn, 2004
~~
"Gripping."
--- The Vancouver Sun
"The language is fluid and beautiful. The story of May-ping is colorful, entertaining and insightful."
--- The Regina Leader Post
"Arresting, compelling."
--- The Edmonton Journal
"A jewel of a book; full of wisdom, love and the intriguing lure of possibility."
--- The Prince George Citizen
"The engaging story blends elements of family history, contemporary sociology, the education of a village girl, the vicissitudes of politics, a search for romance, and a career that led to North America. Judicious use of folklore, fables, songs mottoes, proverbs, and fairy tales adds atmosphere to the tale."
--- Canadian Book Review Annual
