  • A compelling read.

    A detailed, lengthy story of three generations of women growing up in China, before, during, and after the Mao revolution. 3 extraordinary lives witness, and are an intimate part, of Chinese society. They see, feel and live out their lives in one of history's compelling eras. Because of the detail narrative not all readers will enjoy this type of story. At times, it is fascinating, at times, unbelievable, at times, too trivial in places.

  • Very intense book. A view into China that few know about.

    EVERYONE should know the history of China.
