THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER THE LONG-AWAITED SEQUEL TO WILD SWANS, THE MULTI-MILLION COPY INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING SENSATION A Book of the Year in The Times, Daily Telegraph and Financial Times 'A must-read magnificent DAILY TELEGRAPH ***** 'Beautiful and moving' ELIF SHAFAK, OBSERVER Jung Changs Wild Swans was a book that defined a generation, an epic personal history of Jung, her mother and grandmother three daughters of China. The book opens in 1909 with her grandmothers birth and foot-binding when China was under the last emperor, moving through Mao Zedongs rule, especially the Cultural Revolution during which Jungs parents were subjected to horrendous ordeals because of their courage. It finishes in 1978 when Deng Xiaoping officially ended the Mao era and started the reforms. Jung, at that propitious juncture, became one of the first Chinese to leave Communist China for the West. Nearly half a century on, China has risen from a decrepit and isolated state to a global power, the challenger to the United States dominant position in the world. Through those decades, Jungs life has been intimately entwined with her native land. Her experiences dealing with the regime in those years were rich and revealing especially so because all her books were (and are) banned. Fly, Wild Swans is the follow-up to Wild Swans and brings the story of Jungs family along with that of China up to date. The book is in many ways Jungs love letter to her mother. It is inevitably also about her grandmother and father, both of whom died tragically in the Cultural Revolution but are often recalled in this book. In fact, the past is never far away in Jungs subsequent life. It has shaped her, and moulded the present China, and whats more, it promises to herald the future. China is now at another watershed moment with the era of Chairman Xi Jinping greatly affecting the lives of Jung and her mother. Fly, Wild Swans is Jungs heartfelt response to that experience, and a book filled with drama, love, curiosity and incredible history both personal and global. Ultimately uplifting, told in Jungs clear, honest and compelling voice, it is memoir writing at its best. 'Profoundly revealing as a portrait both of a family and of the deeper traumas that lie at the heart of modern China' RORY STEWART 'Another wonder book from Jung ChangI am quite blown away by it' LADY ANTONIA FRASER. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
