Review of Last Train Home (2009) by Nick A — 15 Dec 2011
Haunting, touching, jarring, beautiful, epic... but, somehow, all the way through, in a very simple manner. Lixin Fan sits back, lets the story of the lives unfold, and, wow, what a story. A way of life almost, *almost*, completely foreign to westerners (except, perhaps, I can only surmise, to those who recall the Depression), coupled with themes of life that have to be intimately familiar to anyone in the industrialized world.
Moving and also a priceless, educational historical document.
