Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Wild Swans is riveting. It's blindingly good: a mad adventure story, a fairy tale of courage, and a tale of atrocities. You can't, as they say, put it down."--Newsday

"Her family chronicle resembles a popular novel that stars strong, beautiful women and provides cameo roles for famous men....But Wild Swans is no romance. It's a story...about the survival of a Chinese family through a century of disaster."--The New Yorker

"A mesmerizing memoir."--Time

"An inspiring tale of women who survived every kind of hardship, deprivation and political upheaval with their humanity intact."--Hillary Clinton, O, The Oprah Magazine

Traces three generations of a family in twentieth-century China, during which a warlord's concubine, a powerful Communist Party member, and a Cultural Revolution survivor witness Mao's impact on their nation and their livelihoods. Reprint. 60,000 first printing.
