Özet

With every misfortune, there is a blessing, and within every blessing, the seeds of misfortune, and so it goes, until the end of time.

It is 1938 in China, and the Japanese are advancing. A young mother, Meilin, is forced to flee her burning city with her four-year-old son, Renshu, and embark on an epic journey across China. For comfort, they turn to their most treasured possession - a beautifully illustrated hand scroll. Its ancient fables offer solace and wisdom as they travel through their ravaged country, seeking refuge.

Years later, Renshu has settled in America as Henry Dao. His daughter is desperate to understand her heritage, but he refuses to talk about his childhood. How can he keep his family safe in this new land when the weight of his history threatens to drag them down?

Spanning continents and generations, Peach Blossom Spring is a bold and moving look at the history of modern China, told through the story of one family. It's about the power of our past, the hope for a better future and the search for a place to call home.

I had difficulty to understand some words, would have preferred less of a Chinese accent.

Fairly in-depth study of characters and allowing the he listener to get under the skin of the 3 very different protagonists.

I really enjoyed listening to this story. It spans generations and locations and I learned a lot about recent history (2nd WW and aftermath) in China that I had not come across. I would recommend to anyone who likes a gripping/perilous story line interspersed with amazing storytelling between characters. This book will stay with me.

Beautiful Story

This was an interesting story. Told across three generations I found myself less engaged with each generation in turn. I really enjoyed the start focusing on a young mother in China during the civil war, WW2 and subsequent civil war again. The younger generations in America I was less engaged with. I feel like the author tried to cover too much in one novel and that spread the story a bit thin.

I loved the first PoV character, she was strong and clever and very interesting to read about. A book just about her I would have given 5 stars. The latter half of the book with her descendants I would probably have given 3/4 stars. It was interesting but the characters were often frustrating to follow and a little bit hollow. I'd definitely recommend it though as it was quite an easy read.

First half good, second half mid
