wildhart (USA: LA) (2010/02/07):
From the Russian Revolution to China's Cultural Revolution, from the splendor of the Orient to the sin of a Shanghai brothel, here is the breathtaking story of a woman's extraordinary life. Her name is Sophia. Wild and beautiful, s he envisions herself to be the legendary Snow Leopard, the defiant survivor, the free spirit who can endure any hardship and fulfill any love.
Glenn (USA: NH) (2020/10/25):
With such a long book I thought there would be dull spots but I found it kept me entertained all the way. I believe the author catches the essence of what it is like to be a refugee. The story itself addresses the issues of life and contemplates how fate works. There is a nice surprise at the end.
