- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is the first of Anchee Min's work that I have read. It is an inspiring and fascinating portrait of her as a young immigrant from China. Based on this work, I will put her prior work on my to-read list and pay attention to future works. A determined talent.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book and Anchee Min embodies the meaning of human perseverance and determination. She is only 55 but has already lived so many different lives. The resilience she had to have had to survive the cultural revolution China and the fortitude to find a way to live and come to the United States where she did not know the language nor did she have someone waiting for her. That she became a successful author is amazing. This book is straightforward, not emotional, just matter of fact. This is what she did, what happened and how she overcame adversity to become what she is today. I found it all absolutely amazing.
