I've nearly finished this book - Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress by Dai Sijie and it is SO good! It's only a short novel - about 180 pages, but it's brilliant! I'd definitely recommend it! It's set in China at the time of the Cultural Revolution. Two young boys from borgeois families are sent to the countryside to be re-educated but a discovery of a suitcase full of banned Western books and the meeting of a beautiful young seamstress change their lives...sorry, but I can't be bothered to explain any more! But it seriously is good - READ IT! :D
