A repeated motif in the book is the presence of the Buddhist Goddess Guanyin, a feminine figure of the divine who is of enormous importance in the popular religious imagination, and oddly powerful in a religion and culture more noted for favouring masculine power. But O’yang’s Goddess of Mercy is not the delicate beauty of Chinese iconography. She is cruel and occasionally whimsical, creating torments along with mercies. I must say I admired O’yang’s bravery in tackling this particular archetype of feminine perfection." Walter Mason, author and scholar "This book is different. It reminds me of Haruki Murakami." The Vault of Books "Transforms you, from cover to cover." Neverland. "[I]n her tale, surrounded by inhumanity that is war, Julie O’Yang opens the dossier of the most human of all notions: love." Singapore Review of Books "I found it hard to put it down until the very end." Vaani
