Narrative During Books Inheritance

In 1931, abandoned after their mother's suicide, the young Junan and her sister, Yinan, make a pact never to leave each other. The two girls are inseparable—until Junan enters into an arranged marriage and finds herself falling in love with her soldier husband. When the Japanese invade China, Junan and her husband are separated. Unable to follow him to the wartime capital, Junan makes the fateful decision to send her sister after him. Inheritance traces the echo of betrayal through generations and explores the elusive nature of trust.

Appraise Regarding Books Inheritance

I'm strangely fascinated with Chinese history, and I generally find family sagas compelling. I had never heard of Lan Samantha Chang, but I'm glad I picked this book on a whim; it didn't disappoint.Set in the backdrop of political unrest and spanning three generations, Inheritance details the struggle between love and hate in a time of turmoil. Chang's characters are beautifully constructed, particularly the author's mother, Junan, who I could relate to entirely too well. Despite the memorable

This was an interesting novel, set during the Sino-Japanese War and second Chinese Civil war, but I think that I found the setting more interesting than the plot. The characters all seemed like caricatures to me, and the author jumped back and forth between the first and third person, which I deeply dislike. Toward the end of the novel, the first person even starts slipping into the third person sections, so that the narrator is technically narrating all of it. I didn't like that device at all.

As usual I loved the historical content of the book which was brilliantly intertwiined with the story of a wealthy Chinese family spread over seven generations. It is set prior to the Japanese occupation through to the establishment of the Communist era.The story is told in an understated way making it,s impact even greater.We get a wonderful insight into the workings of the Chinese mind which enables us to relate to the characters in a sympathetic way. The tension between the well drawn

I did not go in expecting to like this book. I often find immigrant fiction maudlin and stifling in its disappointment with America or its overwhelming optimism toward American culture.So I was very surprised to find myself so captivated by Changs story (non-autobiographical). She writes with clarity, detail and poignancy. She informs the reader of the political climate of China during the war and Communist revolution without being preachy and mostly without taking sides. She sets up no

I picked this book up from the library because it sounded interesting. I love to read historical fiction, but I found this story to be somewhat dry and hard to follow. I really had to focus to keep track of the story line and characters.

Very few novels have the power to deeply transform the reader. Many books can spark your imagination or provide a new insight on something, but rarely is the reader profoundly affected by the words on the page. Inheritance happens to be one of these exceptional novels with the power to change the reader. After finishing Inheritance, I am forced to reflect inward on my own family situation; one that is just as imperfect as the Wang/Li family. Broken families are common, but finding a way to fix

INHERITANCE: NOTESQuestions: Why does the narrator say that her family story is like a stone? Hong says that all children are born into the middle of their familys stories. How important is it for us to discover the whole story? Do we need it to know who we are? Why does Junan send Yinan to her husband? What is Hongs relationship with her mother and father? How is the concept of love and passion developed and passed down between the women of the family? Does it change with the generations? What
