[Mary Kate · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’m not a big fan of memoirs or autobiographies but this is well written and reads more like historical fiction. It was a good choice after just finishing Anchee Min’s two books about the end of the Imperial Dynasty. I’d actually read it once before many years ago.

A nice biography and a good insight of life in China pre Mao era
