"Although I sometimes teach World Civilization, I don't know very much about lives of the people in China during the communist years under Chairman Mao. This book provides a lot of those answers. It's tough to read, but it is very informative and inspiring."
"My heart ached every time I picked up this book to read. It rang page after page of unspeakable acts delivered to and through the everyday lives of the people of China under the rule of Mao. The only real hope conveyed in the book was Chang's beautiful depiction of the places where she, her mother and her grandmother had lived. She captures the smallest detail and creates a clear picture for her reader. I believe this book grants us a view of what it is like to live in a Godless society."
"A book about three generations of women in China, written by a woman who was in her early twenties when Mao died. The perspective she shares on life during Imperial China, and then Mao's communist China kept me riveted, hardly noticing the book was 500 pages of pure history. This is worth-while exposure to facts about an entire century that have only recently seen daylight in the West, and perhaps still haven't in parts of modern China. I think I finally understand why someone would accept (and adore) Communism and a leader like Mao. Well written."
