Recenzje

'The book is engrossing, with a lot of vivid, subtle, and emotionally moving narratives on the children left behind in rural China and their families. While the text incorporates numerous references to the literature, one always strongly feels that it is about real lives and real issues and Chinese realities.' Jingzhong Ye, China Journal
