A beautiful and sad memoir of a girl stuck in communist China when she was secretly somewhat of a “bourgeois individualist” as they called it. It’s a story about thwarted desire, sexual awakening, love, loss, and bitterness. I only wish there was more about Mao and the Party because I don’t no much about China during that period. I might have to do some digging after this one
