ReviewsAdvance praise forDragon Bones "Mixing history, myths, and current events,Dragon Bonesis an extraordinarily rich novel. It reveals the emotional and economical entanglement of China with the West, and tells a story of violence, lust, greed, fear, and desperation. The novel not only is a page-turner but is also timely." -Ha Jin, author ofWaiting and The Crazed Praise forFlower Net "Lisa See [does] for Beijing what Sir Arthur Conan Doyle did for turn-of-the-century London or Dashiell Hammett did for 1920s San Francisco: She discerns the hidden city lurking beneath the public façade." -The Washington Post Book World Praise forThe Interior "Lisa See is one of the classier practitioners of . . . the international thriller. She draws her characters . . . with convincing depth, and offers up documentary social detail that reeks of freshly raked muck. See's China is as vivid as Upton Sinclair's Chicago."-The New York Times Book Review

Lisa See kept the reader in suspense throughout the entire book. She also provided details the Yangtze River in China.
The book was filled with details of life in China--politically, socially, and history. It was sad to read about how people were tortured which is understandable the truth must be told.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
