Learned, laughed and cried.

It took me over a year to finish reading for it is a large, amazing book and I wanted to make sure that I was very alert when reading. Ms. Chang has a terrific writing style that makes you feel you are right there. Each chapter contributed to my knowledge of China as viewed through three women's eyes. It is the type of book you can finish a chapter and then go back to later for she has organized chapters to complete a period in time. Kathy Condon

Be entertained while you learn

I am finding this book both educational and entertaining and I can't think of anything better to read. The author has a very dry style but you find what she has to say defies belief and you cannot put it down. I can see her mother telling her life story and a daughter sitting mouth agape at what her family has been through busily writing it down to share with the rest of the world.

How politics affect one's family life

This book gives a clear semi-deep picture of the communist beliefs and policies through the life of the writer and her family. I liked it a lot especially because the writer's parents had positions within the party which gave me a better understanding of how the political life her parents lived reflected on their family life.

Wild Swans

Well written memoir that reviews the history of China immediately before, during and after the civil war between the Nationalists and the Communists, and also the early days of the Communist government. The good and the bad of Mao's rule is vividly portrayed.

Wild Swans: Opening the Eyes of Westeners

Having lived and done business in China for several years I was shocked when I read this book and finally was able to understand possible 'why's for the behaviour and belief systems of staff, friends and clients. This opened my eyes and my heart and I find myself reacting differently to those around me.
