I like this book a lot. It's not the most exciting thing, but the small interesting events keep me going. The foot binding sounds painful, and the fact that a wife has to raise her husband is an odd concept. Idk, i mean the man is suppose to be the dominant one in the realationship, but until he gets older hes not so, it's weird. One thing that was interesting though was that the story teller's mother was allowed to have a say in who she was going to marry. The one bad thing is all the men asking for her hand. It's terrible that the soilders will try and marry local women just cause it's encouraged, and just for their pleasure no doubt. Im kind of rambling, but the book just has so many odd or intersing concepts they just keep poping into my mind. One thing that really bugs me about this book is the fact that i cant keep straight whos who sometimes. I'm sure things will clear up soon though. The next chapter called, "Daughter for Sale for 10 Kilos of Rice" sounds interesting and i cant wait to read it.
