'Of all the personal histories to have emerged out of China's twentieth-century nightmare^ tVM Swans is tffe most deeply thoughtful and the most heart-rending I've read. It moves, in part, like a ghastly oriental fairytale, but the authority and the reticent passion with which Jung Chang speaks her memories - and those of others - is unmistakable.'

ANTONiA KRASER, The Times
'Immensely moving and unsettling; an unforgettable portrait of the brain-death of a nation.'
