Industry Reviews
"A meandering story that's historically fascinating but emotionally uninvolving."
Rowe
"A pastel tinge of fairy-tale unreality clings to the story: Every tragedy is carefully foreshadowed, and every risk predictably pays off in triumph. But the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong is unfamiliar to most Western readers, and Tsukiyama's choice of place and period makes THE LANGUAGE OF THREADS an unusual addition to the strong-young-women-in-adversity category."
