Falling Leaves return to their Roots

Informationen zum Autor Adeline Yen Mah Klappentext Thought to bring bad luck because her mother died giving birth to her, Adeline Yen Mah was discriminated against by her family all her life. Falling Leaves is both the moving story of how she survived that rejection and an enthralling saga of a Chinese family, from the time of the foreign concessions to the rise of Communist China and the commercial boom of Hong Kong. Zusammenfassung A story of an unwanted Chinese daughter growing up during the Communist Revolution, blamed for her mother's death, ignored by her millionaire father and unwanted by her Eurasian step mother. It is a story of greed, hatred and jealousy; a domestic drama that is played against the extraordinary political events in China and Hong Kong.
