Like <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2779032820">Elise</a> I got distracted by all those numbers next to the pages when I started reading. To me they were not as disturbing to my reading pleasure as it was to hers though.

'Fu Ping' gives a great insight into the lives of women in China's working class during the early years of the People's Republic of China. I think it is totally worth reading.

The format was definitely distracting, however "Fu Ping" is an interesting novel that presents Asia's struggles through the portrait of women's lives in Shanghai.

I really wanted to read this...
There is some great intimacy within the storytelling- and I was interested in the topic.
But the distraction of the translation was difficult.

It’s too hard to read a book this way -
I can’t recommend the way it’s translated.
But thank you sooo much for the opportunity to try!

Wishing much success to the author.

Good book. The only thing was I could not truly concentrate on reading due to format of the book. Otherwise, well written plot. The book takes you thought the journey of Asian world and its struggles. Plot 4/5 for me.
