Book Reviews of The Lost Daughters of China
Book Review: A wealth of information with personal touches
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is both a beautiful memoir of a woman's international adoption and a history/case study of international adoptions from Asia. It gives great information that spans decades of China/US adoption relations. The author does a wonderful job explaining the significance of Confucianism and China's "One Child" policy and how it has resulted in the "Lost Daughters of China." Anchee Min, the author of Falling Leaves, gives a beautiful forward to add to an already beautifully written and researched account.
