Title: Excellent choice for a book club
Review: "Waiting" is a well crafted tale that will elicit thoughtful discusion in a book club. The characters may be hard to relate to given the setting and the culture but that is precisely what makes the book interesting. The order and simplicity of the lifestyles portrayed allow the underlying question of "What IS love?" to be revealed.With prose that is clear and never distracting, Ha Jin weaves in irony and resolution for a satisfying read.
