Book Review: "FALLING LEAVES: MEMOIR OF AN UNWANTED CHINESE DAUGHTER"
Summary: 5 Stars
"FALLING LEAVES: THE MEMOIR OF AN UNWANTED CHINESE DAUGHTER" -- AN AMAZON-VERIFIED PURCHASE -- IS A HEARTFELT ACCOUNT OF A HORRIFIC CHILDHOOD DURING THE JAPANESE OCCUPATION OF CHINA. THE AUTHOR, ADELINE YEN MAH, IS A BRILLIANT, DEEPLY COMPASSIONATE, AND SOULFUL WRITER. THIS GRIPPING BOOK IS HARD TO PUT DOWN. THE READER IS HELPLESSLY DRAWN INTO ADELINE'S WORLD OF ENDLESS EMOTIONAL TORMENT AS SHE TRIES DESPERATELY TO COPE WITH BOTH THE PAIN OF BEING REJECTED BY HER FAMILY, AS WELL AS THE TURBULENT AND UNCERTAIN POLITICAL TIMES.
THIS MEMOIR IS RICH IN DESCRIPTIVE DETAILS OF ADELINE'S PERSONAL LIFE AND THE IMPACT ON HER AND HER FAMILY BY THE INIMICAL SOCIO-POLITICAL CIRCUMSTANCES. THE AUTHOR, A NATURAL PSYCHOLOGIST, WITHHOLDS NOTHING; SHE GENEROUSLY SHARES WITH THE READER THE MOST INTIMATE DETAILS OF HER LIFE.
I CANNOT HELP LOVING AND ADMIRING THE WRITER. READING THIS BOOK HAS BEEN AN ENLIGHTENING AND RICHLY REWARDING EXPERIENCE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS VERY IMPORTANT AND ENJOYABLE BOOK! REGINA CLARK
