Rezensionen
Praise for Women, Seated:

"Vivid, smart, suspenseful." Mo Yan, winner of the Nobel Prize

"Women, Seated is a propulsive, tightly wound, and beautifully observed novel that explores ideas of power, secrets, motherhood, and sacrifice. I couldn't put it down." Meg Wolitzer

A suspenseful and layered novel Thanks to Zhang s astute storytelling, characters that first appear to be villains become more complex as the years of disappointment and fractured ambitions that have shaped them come to light. This gripping drama offers an intimate view into contemporary China s class dynamics." Publishers Weekly

A tight modern thriller about monied elites and corruption in mainland China These characters may live in your head for some time due to Zhang s fine pacing and quirky scenes. Kirkus Reviews
