MINI BOOK REVIEW
[Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China]
Jung Chang writes her family memoir through the lives of her grandmother (concubine to a war general), her mother (leader of the Communist Party), and herself (survivor of the Cultural Revolution who immigrated to the UK). Each women experiences a step in the transformation of China. Chang's writing is beautiful, insightfully honest, and perfect balanced between personal events and historical events. Jung Chang didn't want to write this story. She resisted. But when her mother visited Chang in the UK and left hours of recorded history, she knew this story had to be shared. This is one of my top books of 2020.
⚡️5/5 (adding to my favorite books shelf)
