Her grand aunt formed the Shanghai Women's Bank. Her father was known as the miracle boy with the power of turning iron into gold. Yet in this affluent Chinese family the fifth child and youngest daughter, Adeline, suffered appalling emotional abuse. Set against the background of changing political times and the collision of East and West, Falling Leaves describes how, despite the legacy of her painful childhood, Adeline Yen Mah survived to make a successful career. Told with all the suspense and emotional force of a novel, this true story is moving in its eloquent simplicity and, through the dignity of its indomitable protagonist, finally uplifting.
Falling Leaves The Story Of An Unwanted Chinese Daughter,
Falling Leaves is such a wonderful and excellent book and I have read it a million times but I still love it. When you read it, you can not stop you have to read another page and another till the book is finished. When you finish the book you have nothing else to do but think what she went through to get to where she is now:A succesful writer and caring mum. The book is beautiful, excellent, wonderful and an insparation to all .I personally love and enjoyed this book. It would be in my top five.
thank -you
Adeline Yen Mah
