The Good Women of China: Hidden Voices by Xinran

4.0

Such a fascinating and gut wrenching look into the lives of Chinese women. The Cultural Revolution terrorized and victimized so many Chinese families but the impact on women and girls was nothing short of state sanctioned violence. At times the language felt awkward or stilted and detracted from the story. This may have been due to the translation or a gap in the experience of the author and that of the young women she interviewed. No matter, as these stories will remain with the reader log after the last page.
