Exactly how steamy is this story?
PG-13
The PG-13 rating isn't for steaminess. Aside from Wang Lung's brief obsession with Lotus, there isn't anything close to steaminess in this book. We're slapping on the ol' PG-13 rating more for the suggestion of steaminess. There's a lot of sex in this book, but we don't get to see any of it; we just hear about it, sort of. Plus, the sex isn't that sexy. Just like everything else in this novel, including the extraordinary, sex is just part of ordinary, everyday life. It's No big deal—just part of life.
