A review by goldenivygarden
Falling Leaves: The Memoir of an Unwanted Chinese Daughter by Adeline Yen Mah

emotional sad fast-paced

3.5

emotional; riveting; haunting; but echoing many reviews here in saying i think it could have benefited from more reflection and introspection instead of ending so abruptly. in some parts it does feel more an exposé than a memoir. i also read her other memoir, chinese cinderella, which details her childhood life in more detail but is also written the same rather clinical way. i did still enjoy it though.
