Under My Apple Tree reviews What the Zhang Boys Know

Today the Virtual Book Tour takes us to the Under My Apple Tree Blog for a review of What the Zhang Boys Know.

The reviewer says, in part:

The book is composed of twelve short stories, each centering around one of the residents of the building. They are a diverse group of people brought vividly to life in their pain, sorrow and longings. While each of them are flawed, they are also sympathetic, well-drawn characters. The writing was beautiful. The stories came alive. The shifting viewpoints and changes in writing style as we heard from the different individuals enhanced the reading experience.

As with many of the blogs on the tour, readers have an opportunity to enter a contest to win a copy of the book!
