Reply to comment by the_scarlett_ning in I just finished all the David Mitchell books by mankindmatt5

Wild Swans by Jung Chang

It's a biographical account of three generations of Chinese women, going through the shift from feudal China, civil war, and Mao's cultural revolution

In 'Holy Mountain' we get to see the same woman live through all of that.

As for Utopia Ave, maybe just wanted to write something fun? I think darkness will be back on the menu whenever his next one is out.

Omg! I have that book! I love it! But I’ve never heard anyone else reference it. That’s awesome!
