“Lies were told with ease, because words had lost their meaning”A history of China seen through the eyes of three generations of women, starting early 1900s right through to the 80s covering the Japanese occupation, civil war, The Great Leap Forward and the truly horrific Cultural Revolution. A stunning piece of work, one of my favourite books of all time.
