Book Reviews of A Cup of Light

Book Review: Delicate Writing, Porcelain, Hearing, Forgery
Summary: 5 Stars

The plot moves back and forth, focusing on Lia, but showing us also people she never meets, the go-betweens, the ultimate buyers in the US, who want the art just because they can afford it (knowing they can never display it), the Chinese officials who don't want it to leave China but need even the little kick-back money that will come to the government. I learned a lot about the history of porcelain, but also about what happened to it during Chinese history, especially before, during and after WW II.

And Lia has to learn to tell forgeries from the real thing--even forgeries so beautiful they make her heart break. The descriptions are so beautiful they will make your heart break too. The writing is sensual, whether of the pots, leaves in the park, food, the man who might make a difference in Lia's life. It will be hard to wait for Nicole Mones' third novel.
