OLDER FICTION
Wulffson, Don

The Golden Rat

(4) YA In 1199 China, Baoliu is found guilty of murdering his father's new wife. He's spared execution when his father pays to have a peasant take Baoliu's place. The plot follows Baoliu as he tries to prove his innocence. Wulffson's setting is well realized and the action is fast-paced and suspenseful, but the characters occasionally sound and act too modern.
