Review:
'Immensely moving and unsettling; an unforgettable portrait of the brain-death of a nation.' (The Sunday Times)

'Wild Swans made me feel like a five-year-old. This is a family memoir that has the breadth of the most enduring social history.' (The Independent on Sunday)

'There has never been a book like this.' (Los Angeles Times)

'Everything about Wild Swans is extraordinary. It arouses all the emotions, such as pity and terror, that great tragedy is supposed to evoke, and also a complex mixture of admiration, despair and delight at seeing a luminous intelligence directed at the heart of darkness.' (The Sunday Telegraph)
Book Description:
Wild Swans is a tragic tale of nightmarish cruelty and an uplifting story of bravery and survival.

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: New. From Publishers Weekly: "Bursting with drama, heartbreak and horror, this extraordinary family portrait mirrors China's century of turbulence. Chang's grandmother, Yu-fang, had her feet bound at age two and in 1924 was sold as a concubine to Beijing's police chief. Yu-fang escaped slavery in a brothel by fleeing her "husband" with her infant daughter, Bao Qin, Chang's mother-to-be. Growing up during Japan's brutal occupation, free-spirited Bao Qin chose the man she would marry, a Communist Party official slavishly devoted to the revolution. In 1949, while he drove 1000 miles in a jeep to the southwestern province where they would do Mao's spadework, Bao Qin walked alongside the vehicle, sick and pregnant (she lost the child). Chang, born in 1952, saw her mother put into a detention camp in the Cultural Revolution and later "rehabilitated." Her father was denounced and publicly humiliated; his mind snapped, and he died a broken man in 1975. Working as a "barefoot doctor" with no training, Chang saw the oppressive, inhuman side of communism. She left China in 1978 and is now director of Chinese studies at London University. Her meticulous, transparent prose radiates an inner strength.". Seller Inventory # 011970
