Query: Disappointing read, had some poetic phrases

This was a rather disappointing read, I enjoyed her writing style but it went into way too many descriptions, and I was more interested to see how the dialogue & the story will develop. The characters were well described and introduced, but nothing much really happened to them. The references to Tian Tian's upcoming death took away any thrill that would have caused, so the surprise was taken away. The encounters with her lover were not bad, the story was just not going anywhere. References to feminisim were weak and did not mkae for a good argument. I sadly do not recommend this book.
