Adeline Yen Mah's childhood in China during the civil war was a time of fear, isolation and humiliation. The cause of this was not political upheaval but systematic emotional and physical abuse by her stepmother and siblings, and rejection by her father. Falling Leaves is the story of a 'Fifth Younger Daughter' and her determination to survive the pain of a lonely childhood.
'I am still haunted by Mah's memoir... Riveting. A marvel of memory. Poignant proof of the human will to endure.'
Amy Tan
