The politics involved are made easy to understand no easy feat! Jan 03, Sam J rated it it was amazing. This was an interesting period read, At once audacious, dazzling, pretentious, and at times infuriating, Syd Goldsmith's novel weaves history, suspense, humor, love ,death, and pathos. Syd's first literary work relies on a kaleidoscopic plot structure that showcases his stylistic virtuosity.
I recommend it especially to anyone who spent time in Taiwan during the turbulent late 's through the 's.

See a Problem?
It is both a tragic love story and a historic look back into a very troubled time in Taiwan prior to the coming of true multi-party democracy. Vividly realistic characters from historically correct accurate personages like Chiang Kai-Shek, to fictional characters like Nick Malter and Jade Phoenix, the story takes place in actual local domestic settings with careful attention payed to Taiwanese and Chinese culture and the ramifications between the two. The Characters drive this story with unrelenting anguish and love until the very last page.
What is described in the book concerning daily life, corruption, pay-offs, and the daily grind of survival is very factual,as I lived it and witnessed it.
The book lends unbridled insight into the plight of the Taiwanese people and their struggle under KMT Kuomintang rule. Aug 06, Patrick Cowsill rated it liked it. I met Sid at the Taiwanese historian Jerome Keating's breakfast meet-up: He came to a party at my home and later sent me a copy of this book. The early parts of the book are best, especially focusing on country life in Tainan, Taiwan.
