Review:
"Powerful... Anyone who cares about china must read this book.... Bette Bao Lord writes with compelling elegance and grace." -- The Boston Globe
"Legacies is an important book. Because the Chinese can no longer tell their own stories, these accounts are all the more necessary to remind the world of the horrors of unchecked political power." -- The Washington Post Book World "Brilliant and terrifying ... Lord unmasks contemporary China and elucidates the cruel promise of China Spring. The novelist bears witness to China's struggle from an extraordinary perspective.... This eloquent book's power to give hope to the Chinese people depends on the steady gaze of Americans and others with the not-so-simple freedom to read its message inked in blood." -- USA Today "Extraordinary ... Endlessly fascinating, original and deeply tragic." -- Philadelphia Inquirer "A vivid and startling mosaic of the political struggles that foreshadowed the Tiananmen Square uprising."

Connected by threads of family and experience to China - this is the testament of a woman with experience of all sections of Chinese society: high and low, communist and dissident, former members of the scholar-gentry and contemporary intellectuals, heads of state and ordinary citizens. The author lets the voices of China speak out - to give a unique portrait of revolutionary China, centred around the tragic events of the China Spring of 1989.
