Women Editorial Review

Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China is a memoir written by a UK immigrant from China about three generations of her family. The book covers the experiences of the great grandmother, who was a concubine with bound feet, the communist revolutionaries fighting for justice and fairness, and the Cultural Revolution of Chairman Mao. It provides a powerful portrait of life under totalitarian rule and is as captivating as One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch or Man's Search for Meaning or Alone in Berlin by Hans Fallada.
