Mei-Fen Kuo

So in the very beginning, I think it's the Chinese wolf berry to Mary and told Mary, you eat that because that is good for your eyes, because Mary had a very bad eye problem.

And then the inks just give this fruit to Mary, and without any language, Mary accepts this friendship.

And in the very beginning, she thinks about it.

Oh, what is this fruit?

She is not quite sure if she eats that or not, but she accepts the friendship in the end.

So I really like this kind of story.

The author tries to talk about how they build their relationship, even though they cannot really communicate to each other very well.

Yes, I quite enjoyed it.

As I say, it is a very unusual story, but I find that it's very...

A refreshing story to think about a woman's friendship, particularly when we talk about gold field history.

We normally, you know, we talk about men and we talk about how these men, they work together, they struggle against the hardship.

I find this book is very interesting.

You know, they published it at the same time, and they also used the two siblings, one man, one woman.

One is in San Francisco, one is in Queensland, and they all went through a very different life journey in a gold rush period.

That's interesting.

But I find the Stone Sky and Gold Mountain is really, I would like to say this book is really get us inside of the people's emotion.

feeling in a gold rush period.

So it didn't really talk much about a community and also a larger society if you compare American novel.
