The acclaimed novel of love and resistance during late 1930s China by Mo Yan, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature Spanning three generations, this novel of family and myth is told through a series of flashbacks that depict events of staggering horror set against a landscape of gemlike beauty, as the Chinese battle both Japanese invaders and each other in the turbulent 1930s. A legend in China, where it won major literary awards and inspired an Oscar-nominated film directed by Zhang Yimou, Red Sorghum is a book in which fable and history collide to produce fiction that is entirely new-and unforgettable.

Harrowing Read

This book was very well written but there were too many vivid descriptions of atrocities for my liking. The setting of many significant events in the sorghum fields was interesting and the book described the Japanese invasion and the local resistance movements well.
