Becoming Madame Mao by Anchee Min
3.0
Written in an interesting way convincing first and third person POV from know history to personal experience this book was ok at what it tried to do but not great.
I don’t know nearly enough about China or Mao Tse-tung or Jiang Ching or any of the history here to comment on whether it was factual or well written as historical fiction. But judged as a boo assuming it to be mostly fiction it was fine. Nothing special and certainly not Anchee Min’s best work or anything close to it.
