Publisher's Summary

Few books have had such an impact as Wild Swans: a popular best seller that has sold more than 13 million copies, a critically acclaimed history of China, a tragic tale of nightmarish cruelty, and an uplifting story of bravery and survival. Through the story of three generations of women in her own family - the grandmother given to the warlord as a concubine, the Communist mother, and the daughter herself - Jung Chang reveals the epic history of China's 20th century. Breathtaking in its scope, unforgettable in its descriptions, this masterpiece is extraordinary in every way.

What the critics say

"An inspiring tale of women who survived every kind of hardship, deprivation and political upheaval with their humanity intact." (Hillary Clinton, in O, The Oprah Magazine)
" Wild Swans is riveting. It's blindingly good: a mad adventure story, a fairy tale of courage, and a tale of atrocities. You can't, as they say, put it down. ( The New Yorker)

fascinating!!!

i have read this book in hard copy years ago but was interested in hearing the audio version. it was not a disappointment. too complex to go into a short review but i highly recommend it. the reader was excellent as well. keep in mind parts of the book are disturbing but it is one incredible story.

Fantastic

A fantastic book. Well put together and has been a great companion as I read through Frank Dikotter’s trilogy.
