A landmark work of life writing, Chang’s account of three generations of Chinese women through the tumult of the twentieth century was hailed as a classic upon publication and remains one of the most haunting, illuminating and insightful glimpses into the closed culture of the Republic of China.
Few books have had such an impact as Wild Swans: a popular bestseller which has sold more than 13 million copies and a critically acclaimed history of China; a tragic tale of nightmarish cruelty and an uplifting story of bravery and survival.
Through the story of three generations of women in her own family - the grandmother given to the warlord as a concubine, the Communist mother and the daughter herself - Jung Chang reveals the epic history of China's twentieth century.
Breathtaking in its scope, unforgettable in its descriptions, this is a masterpiece which is extraordinary in every way.
