In the heart of China's Sichuan province, amid the terraced hills of the Yangtze River valley, lies the remote town of Fuling. Like many other small cities in this ever-evolving country, Fuling is heading down a new path of change and growth, which came into remarkably sharp focus when Peter Hessler arrived as a Peace Corps volunteer, marking the first time in more than half a century that the city had an American resident.

I loved this book - I have listened to it numerous times and it is still as good! It takes you into China and you feel like you are there sharing the authors experiences with him. The narrator is excellent as well - it makes a big difference when they pronounce the words correctly and he has a lovely voice. The author has a very good way of explaining how he felt as an outsider in China, and how he also fitted in. I have since downloaded all his books on here and really wish there was more! If you want to know about Chinese culture and their everyday lives then this is the book for you. It has made me really want to visit this fascinating country.
