Chu Ju's House by Gloria Whelan

dandelionfluff's review against another edition

4.0

Really wonderful insight into the plight of girls post Cultural Revolution. Though I'm sure Chu Ju's situation is extremely unique, the story is wonderfully told. I highly recommend this in a classroom setting.

More then anything, this book provided an amazing insight into rural Communist China. Chu Ju's journey, though it may have been told too quickly, is one that is hard to forget!
