"Big Breasts And Wide Hips" is a gripping portrayal of life in a rural Chinese community throughout the 20th century. It eloquently follows a boy-child who is narration the story and comes from a family comprising strong women, weak husbands, and a mixture of good and bad government officials, bandits, and hard-drinking missionaries. Overall, the novel is a poignant and beautifully told depiction of the unsung heroes that make communities cohesive and vibrant, and their struggles.

The Kingdom Of This World could be a good read for anyone interested in exploring the effects of colonialism, and the turbulent history of Haiti during the early 19th century. With its dark undertones, it presents an unflinching look at the ugly underbelly of a society built on slavery and exploitation. The depiction of voodoo practices and the mad, paranoid mindset of the ruling elite are particularly striking. Reviewed as a profound and haunting examination of the human condition.
