Hua-Ling Hu

Good story but the writing is a little humdrum, maybe because it was translated from Chinese. Minnie Vautrin was a true hero who saved many people from the depridations of the Japanese invading army.

If you have any interest in the Rape of Nanking, you will like this book. I read The Rape of Nanking so was already familiar with the fact that there was an American woman that had a refugee camp where she saved thousands of women from rape by the Japanese soldiers. This is her story. A brutal subject with a tragic end, but a very good read. Although the subject is hard, the writer makes it easy to read. This is a book I will keep.
