Becoming Madame Mao by Anchee Min

3.0

It took me a little while to get into this, but ultimately I enjoyed it. It was an interesting, fictionalized, look at a piece of history that I know nothing about. Madame Mao herself gets swept up in the role she feels she must play, and ultimately causes her own downfall. This makes me want to learn more about the time period, so if anyone has suggestions for something that's not too dry, I'd love to hear them.
