Product Description

Product Description

Pearl Zhang was born in Sichuan Province in China, and grew up during the Cultural Revolution. She was raised in a typically Chinese manner, went to school, got a job, got married, and her whole life path was mapped out, or so it seemed.

Then she seized the opportunity to study in the United Kingdom - and stayed. How did she adjust to the Western way of life, and what did she have to do to overcome the barriers? Would she find happiness and fulfillment with her English suitor in Scotland, or would her heartache continue? She was in a new world, both foreign and exciting - under the Same Moon.
This book, the first of Junying Kirk's "Journey to the West"Trilogy, will take you on a journey full of surprises and discoveries, from the East to the West, from the Middle Kingdom to the United Kingdom.

By A. Tran
Format:Kindle Edition
*The same moon (journey to the west) was a joy to read. The author's natural ability to bring characters and events to life is thoroughly displayed throughout the story. Upon reading the novel, one can easily envisgage the main character Pearl and the people around her; all of whom, despite being fictional, do possess such moving and powerful emotions. History is also cleverly inserted in the storyline without taking over the main plot, yet its presence undeniably important in shaping the main character's destiny. I am also inspired by the sense of optimism that shines through every page. The author's "glass half full" outlook on life certainly has made an impact on me as a reader. Junying's sharp observation and her quick wit also contribute in making this book a thoroughly enjoyable piece of literature. This is a real gem in the modern literature world and will definitely be one proudly displayed on my bookshelf if it ever becomes a paperback.

Second novel review:
*If you enjoy the first book you will be in for a treat with the second book (Trials of life). The second novel is brilliant on its own but is best appreciated after reading the first one (just like the Hobbit and Lord of the rings). Trials of life is beautifully written, I absolutely love the writing style (won't spoil you on how it is written). At times my eyes well up at such intense emotions seeping through the page, I was gripped from the first page and cannot put the kindle down all weekend. Once again Junying has proved that one does not have to have a printed book to be considered a good writer, a very good one indeed. I can't wait for the next novel to come out.

Truly touched 4 April 2011
By kevinyb
Format:Kindle Edition
The story accounted true and first hand of experience from author, that brought me in so powerful feeling, and gain a deep understanding of the world in which we live through accounts and examples given by others of things I would never be able to experience first-hand.

This is the story of the author Junying Kirk and her family in China, It is through their lives that history unfolds and is exposed. She explores her family so deeply, Through the narrative of history you will be amazed at what you learn in this book about the capacity of the heart to persevere and triumph. This book fulfills whatever you set out to obtain or attain when you devote time to reading, let this fall into your hands, enter your heart, and enrich your life and in the end, thank Junying for opening your great work. Thank you

The Same Moon 9 Mar 2011
By Bamboo
Format:Kindle Edition
The message sent by the writer was very clear. You are not just reading a story of someone special, but, also participating the era that she has gone through in history with different points of view from the east and the west. As the readers read alone, all the magic of the words would jump into vivid imagine in front of the readers. The readers are the one who share the happiness and the sadiness with Pearl. The readers can feel the pain and the joy of Pearl. And the readers go with Pearl wherever she goes to the end of the book.
