Summary: A Superb Wartime Love Story
Review: Widow of Que-Moy is a touching wartime love story similar to Madame Butterfly and Miss Saigon. The protogonist, a beautiful Chinese maiden, was in love with a young American Officer at the onset of the Chinese Civil War in 1948. Fate would have them drifted apart and each had to endure the sadness and cruelty of life. They crossed each other in 1958 during the Que-Moy War of Cannons that dragged US into the China-Taiwan conflict. They finally reunioned twenty years later on the small island Que-Moy again. This is the island that Communist China bombarded with nearly half million shells in 1958. They were determined to rekindle their love affair not knowing that a larger political conspiracy was brewing around them. The tragic ending would bring tears to your eyes. If you are interested in the triangular relationship between the US government, China, and Taiwan, then this book will give you the answers. This is a must-read for the China fans.
