Very (too ?) descriptive in the first chapters, too much not necessary background is provided to the reader, which can feel overwhelmed by the my mother's mother's something. After a good third of the book, the story become really interesting and depicts the author early life and events pre/post birth which will influence her. I would not mind being advised for another reading of the same period but from someone with a much more standard and modest background (vs. politically engaged and important parents background). aucune critique | ajouter une critique

The story of three generations in twentieth-century China that blends the intimacy of memoir and the panoramic sweep of eyewitness history, now with a new introduction from the author. A record of Mao's impact on China, a window on the female experience in the modern world, and a tale of courage and love, Jung Chang describes the extraordinary lives and experiences of her family members: her grandmother, a warlord's concubine; her mother's struggles as a young idealistic Communist; and her parents' experience as members of the Communist elite and their ordeal during the Cultural Revolution. Chang was a Red Guard briefly at the age of fourteen, then worked as a peasant, a "barefoot doctor," a steelworker, and an electrician. As the story of each generation unfolds, Chang captures the cycles of violent drama visited on her own family and millions of others caught in the whirlwind of history.

> Parvenue au terme d'un livre étonnamment maîtrisé, elle tend la main, par-dessus les années d'enfer, à la vieille Chine de sa grand-mère. Nous ne les oublierons pas. Un grand livre.
