Falling Leaves by Adeline Yen Mah
I enjoyed reading this nonfiction book. In retelling of childhood in China, one learns about everyday Chinese life. The author's prose motivates one to continue reading. The second half of the book could have provided more details. She remarries and has another child. How did the author raise her children? Does she feel fulfilled in her nuclear family now? One can only assume as no details are given. The author states often that her need for family is not about the money involved. Yet, money is the focus of the adult portrayed in the book. I thought the photos and Chinese sayings added to the text but feel an epilogue would be of benefit.
