One of China's most acclaimed novels, A Small Town Called Hibiscus portrays life in a small Hunan town through the turbulent years of 1963-1979, as the impact of relentless political campaigns takes a staggering toll on the lives of ordinary people. A longtime standard for courses in contemporary Chinese literature.

All's well.
All's fine.

Akward reading
the British translation reads awkwardly, with excessive (from an US English usage) hyphenation. This perhaps approximates the tone of the original Chinese, but it is not easy to follow.

Ecology, environmentalists, and fishermen
Although not his best book (World HIstory Accourding to the Basque; novel - Bugaloo on 2nd Avenue) it is much better than his worse (Salt). Very important 9th Chapter about how the environmentalists really rely on weak science without taking either the whole ecological system into account or the rights of fishermen. The story of Glouster itself is interesting if a little over detailed. I recommend it.
