Big Sister, Little Sister, Red Sister: Three Women at the Heart of Twentieth-Century China
by Jung Chang
Description
This sweeping group biography follows three remarkable sisters whose marriages, ambitions, and convictions placed them at the center of China’s turbulent twentieth century. As the country moves through revolution, war, political upheaval, and exile, each woman assumes a different role in the struggle over China’s future—through public leadership, private influence, wealth, and unwavering political commitment. Their intertwined lives reveal the complex bonds of family divided by ideology, as well as the courage, privilege, sacrifice, and danger that accompanied their extraordinary prominence. Intimate in its portrayal of personal relationships and epic in historical scope, the book offers a vivid portrait of three women who helped shape modern China.
