5.0 out of 5 stars Pug Temptress At Large on the Ancient Silk Road, September 30, 2005

This is a really grand tale of the adventures of a pug pup on the ancient Silk Road, starting in the Chinese Imperial Court. The extremely colorful and well-crafted background and characters, plus the wit and wisdom our puglet encounters in the course of her tail-gripping adventures, more than compensated me (I'm a fan of historical fiction and a dog lover)for my investment in this book. It's a really good read - I'm already waiting for the next one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Riveting canine tale that explores the human condition, September 18, 2005

By 

Rachel Bethany (New York USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: I, Tutus: Book One: The Son of Heaven (Paperback)

This book truly gave me something I was not expecting. What at first seemed to be a light-hearted, humorous adventure about a pug dog quickly turned into a captivating account of politics and intrigue in imperial China and the perils of life along the Silk Road. It is a well-researched historical novel whose canine heroine charmed me with her wit and insight. A real gem of a book!

A very fine first novel. Its author is rich in talent and promise. Readers should be intrigued by the mix of well-researched historical detail, lush Imperial Chinese court settings and equally lush language. The novel immerses the reader into a distant world of eunuchs and concubines as well as Silk Road bandits -- all from the perspective of a pug. Creative, it is. A great find!
