interesting book because it is from a purely-Chinese perspective, including moires, zeitgeist, customs, culture, sensibilities, attitudes. But it seemed unmotivated and contrived to me for those same reasons (I am stuck in my own world perceptions). The story was interesting, spanning 75 years of Chinese history through the eyes of two generations of characters. But the physics at the end, and the space alien civilization were just puke awful and ruined the book. 2/5 stars.
