Description
Spanning three generations of women, this powerful family memoir traces one family’s journey through the upheavals of twentieth-century China, from warlord rule and Japanese occupation to the Communist revolution and the Cultural Revolution. At its heart are the intimate stories of a grandmother, a mother, and a daughter whose lives are shaped by political turmoil, shifting ideals, and the demands of survival. Vividly observed and deeply personal, the narrative offers an evocative portrait of China’s transformation while exploring resilience, oppression, family loyalty, and the search for individual freedom.
