Based on the Chinese myth of Meng Jiangnu who brought down the Great Wall with her tears of mourning, this instalment of the Canongate Myths series has ended up a surreal fairytale against a backdrop of a country in despair.Binu comes from a village where crying from your eyes is forbidden as doing so will mean your death is imminent. The women of the village get round this by shedding their tears via various body parts. When her husband is taken away to work on the Great Wall, Binu is grief-stricken and sets out across China to take him his winter clothes. I'm not familiar with much Chinese myth or superstition but I did enjoy all the unusual beliefs that Binu encounters.Whilst only a short novel, it does remind me of the sort of journey based tales that began with Gulliver's Travels and has become a favourite within the fantasy genre. It even remind me a little of Neil Gaiman's Stardust in a way. Binu is travelling across a land unknown to her and she meets strange people on the way and gets herself in and out of all sorts of scrapes.I was disappointed by the low average rating on Goodreads, though obviously not enough to put off reading it. Expectations have a big part to play in enjoyment of a book. If you are looking for historical fiction then pass it by but if you enjoy Grimm's Fairy Tales and stories where the character goes on a weird and wonderful journey, definitely give Binu a go.

Binu's husband Wan Qiliang is pressganged into working on the Great Wall of China. She sets out on the long journey to bring him a set of winter clothes.It's difficult to judge this without knowing the original Chinese folk tale. Is it a straightforward retelling or is the author riffing on the story somehow? I certainly enjoyed it as a story of a journey across China by one woman and a frog who may or may not be the reincarnation of a woman from the nearby town.One annoying feature is that the book has no apostrophes (were or we're, shed or she'd, etc?) or speech marks, which can be momentarily confusing.

This book is part of the Canongate Myth Series. Which is an interesting series of books about ancient myths. So, of course, having different stories by different writers, some novels are good, some not so good. This one is not so good.What a depressing story.It remembered me of Ana Non by Agustin Gomez Arcos (that's the only good thing). But, while Ana Non is full of interesting people and hope, even if the end is tragic, Binu is full of mean and stupid people (and when I say "stupid" I mean really dumb), including Binu herself. You hope that somewhere in her story she will find someone nice, just for a minute, to show her that life is not just rubbish, but no.And the worst of it is that she never try to avoid these mean people. She's, like a magnet, attracted by anything that is not wise or gentle. I guess it's because she's really stupid and/or that the writer is a sadist.As far as I know, the original legend didn't have this stupid back story of a village where people are able to cry from everywhere except their eyes, but I may be wrong. What a painful reading it was, right from the beginning!But I kept on reading, hoping that somewhere, she will be a bit smarter or someone will be a bit humane. How wrong I was! So, in the end, I forced myself to finish the book, feeling neither pity nor sympathy for Binu but only disgust. Which is a shame as she's supposed to be a heroic figure of some sort.Well, first time and last time I read Su Tong.
