Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China by Jung Chang

5.0

I think everyone needs to read this book. It's a beautiful inter-generational tale that I can't believe isn't taught in schools. From early 1900s in China to 1989, it's a true story a woman, her mother, and grandmother and them witnessing and experiencing all that has happened to their country. And so much has happened. And there's so much evil, so much love, and it's a story that seems to repeat itself in many places and in various times, but that just makes it so much more beautiful. Regular people living their lives and tormented by the governments and wars that they have to live through. Regular women being strong through adversity, and that's what makes them extraordinary.
