Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China by Jung Chang

challenging dark emotional informative sad medium-paced

5.0

A deeply fascinating book that helped me understand the history and politics of China while at the same time making me feel deeply with the described people. Highly recommend this to anyone Chinese or interested in China, but also might be interesting to those who aren't either.
