Spring Moon

I started and finished Spring Moon last night. That alone should give you insight into how much I enjoyed this book. Telling the tale of Spring Moon and her family on an epic scale, the book weaves the lives of the Chang clan with China's turblent early 20th century history.
Spring Moon grows and changes throughout the bittersweet story, beginning as a precocious girl and ending as a woman very much into her old age. She tells us of herself through her own eyes but we also see her through the eyes of her favored Grand Uncle, his wife, and Spring Moon's own child. A great read for history fans looking for the human side of the story and people who enjoy love stories that aren't ridiculous affairs.
