It is also a story of history and politics, offering the reader a brief but memorable description of the clash of China's dynastic rivalries."-- Christian Science Monitor " Jade Dragon Mountain is an amazing book-truly wonderful. Stunning in its atmosphere, setting, the gift of language, and great writing. Elsa Hart and her protagonist, Li Du, deserve a place in every collection.
