wuxia novel
This classic genre novel, while not limited to Chinese writers, has been one of their hallmarks for many years. The story takes place on one day on a mountain that sounds as if it may be on the edge of the Himalayas. The plot revolves around the concepts of revenge, love and honor. The hero's dilemma is to put them in perspective while being pulled in differing directions by the other characters. The action is typical, with wuxia flights of fancy abounding. I would suggest that this is a good read for those familiar with the type. Perhaps a little difficult for those who are not.
