By Dai Sijie
Translated from the french in 2001 - this little novel is delightful. Two "educated" city boys are sent to the country to live with peasants to be "re-educated." The reader gets a clear, concise and very sympathetic view of "those" times for these Chinese lads, still in their teens, their formative, clever years.
Would make a good book discussion group topic. I really liked it and was disappointed to reach the end.
