Description
Spanning from the late 1970s to the present, this sweeping memoir continues the story of three generations of women whose lives mirror the upheavals of modern China. As the author forges a new path in the West and becomes a writer, her work—and her family’s safety—are shaped by censorship, political risk, and the long shadow of the Cultural Revolution. With intimate clarity and epic scope, the book explores identity, memory, and the complicated bonds between mother and daughter as China’s rise gives way to a new era of tightening control. Part family history, part political portrait, it captures how personal survival and national transformation are inseparable—and how the past keeps returning to demand answers.
