The House of Exile

Rating:
Summary: House of Exile Great History
Review: A friend loaned this to me after I raved about "WildSwans", which I got from Amazon auction. The style is not warmlybiographical, but the author gives an amazing picture of life in China from 1927 to 1933. I too would love to know what happened to her and her family. Anyone who enjoyed this should certainly read "Wild Swans" by Jung Chang. Both contain information about China which was a complete revelation for me.

Review: Having lived in China and Taiwan for over 5 years, I truly enjoyed this insight into Chinese life in the 1920's! The author does a wonderful job of pulling the reader into the historical events. I am very interested to know what happened to the author, her daughter and her husband.
