Booklover Book Reviews Reviews What the Zhang Boys Know

Here’s another very positive review of What the Zhang Boys Know, this time from Booklover Book Reviews.

The reviewer says, in part:

I find it remarkable that Clifford Garstang has managed to achieve such detailed character development and included so many well developed story lines in a novel of only 218 pages. He delivers wonderful descriptive sequences that beautifully evoke time, mood and place, and it is these that elevate the story of the residents to that of a deeper message about life. What The Zhang Boys Know is brimming over with content, while never feeling rushed or cliche.

I found myself swiftly drawn into the world Clifford Garstang created at Nanking Mansion and I highly recommend you take the journey too.

This review is part of the Virtual Book Tour which is ongoing.
