Book Reviews of Feather in the Storm: A Childhood Lost in Chaos
Book Review: Please tell me more Ms. Wu
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this story. I hope Emily Wu writes more about her life and what led her to America. This was a beautiful story about how the cultural revolution in China robbed people of there childhoods and destroyed families. I intend to read more from this author.
Summary of Feather in the Storm: A Childhood Lost in Chaos
Emily Wu?s account of her childhood under Mao opens on her third birthday, as she meets her father for the first time in a concentration camp. A well-known academic, her father had been designated an ?ultra-rightist? and class enemy. As a result, Wu?s family would be torn apart and subjected to unending humiliation and abuse. Wu recounts this hidden holocaust in which millions of children and their families died. Feather in the Storm is an unforgettable story of the courage of one child in a quicksand world of endless terror.General Books
