Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China

In addition to being entertaining, this book is extreemly informative as it provides an inside look at life under Mao, the Chinese Communist Party and the historical development of China.

Interesting account of Communist China

This is a very comprehensive account of one family's endurance of Communist China as told from the perspective of one member of the family. At times, I think it's a little unbelievable in the detail that she knows about family members who were no longer alive when she wrote the book. However, the writing is easy and her descriptions emotionally charged. This would be an especially good book to read in preparation for a trip to China.

Almost impossible to review.....

This is one of the most moving books I have ever read. It is historically enlightening, personally moving, and tragic. To have lived and survived under Mao took ingenuity, guts and luck. You will never look at the Chinese in the same way after reading Wild Swans.

A human story

This book is an excellent story of a family through the reign of Mao. It is an excellent book to read after reading Mao. It gives you an example of how Mao's actions affected the lives of a family of his loyal followers.

Wild Swans

I was recommended this book by a physician I was seeing. I told him I was going to Beijing and he said his parents had been and really recommended reading this book before going to China. I received it and I am so grateful for the recommendation. The book is facinating, brutal, wonderfully written and gave me knowledge that I otherwise would not have received. I understood many of the things I saw with a new and more enhanced understanding. I loved visiting Beijing and I loved it even more because of this book.
