Description
WINNER OF THE 1992 NCR BOOK AWARD & THE 1993 BRITISH BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD ! "This real-life saga of a Chinese family over three generations contains more domestic drama than "Dynasty", more violence than any film noir, more heart-rending tragedy than "Little Dorrit" and more ironic twists and turns and villains on the make than any Balzacian fresco. Almost casually, Jung Chang introduces us to a world where personal insecurity, sudden ruin and the possiblilty of torture and violent death are as perfunctorily taken for granted as tomorrow's thunderstorm. There has never been a book like this." Edward Behr, Los Angeles Times. Jung Chang states in her "Acknowledgements", that "Much of the book is the story of my mother". - from Amzon
