‘Wild Swan, Three Daughters of China’, Wrote by Jung Chang Book
‘It is impossible to exaggerate the importance of this book.’ Mary Wesley
Winner of the 1992 NCR Book Award
‘Of all the personal histories to have emerged out of China’s twentieth-century nightmare, Wild Swans is the most deeply thoughtful and the most heart-rending I’ve read. It moves, in part, like a ghastly oriental fairytale, but the authority and the reticent passion with which Jung Chang speaks her memories – and those of others – is unmistakable.’ COLIN THUBRON, Spectator
‘Wild Swans is a very unusual masterpiece. Everything about it is extraordinary. Not only has it been a popular bestseller, because it is impossible to put down; it has also received the most serious critical attention. the book arouses all the emotions, such as pity and terror, that great tragedy is supposed to evoke, and also plex mixture of admiration, despair and delight at seeing a luminous intelligence directed at the heart of darkness.’ MINETTE MARRIN, Sunday Telegraphy
‘Mesmerising. Like all great stories of survival, no matter what tragedies and horrors are encountered along the way, Wild Swans is ultimately an uplifting book: it is the courage and spirit of this family which will, I believe, be my abiding impression (even if memories of the horrors endured will take a long time fade).’ ANTONIA FRASER, The Times
‘Immensely moving and unsettling; an unforget-able portrait of the brain-death of a nation.’ J.G.BALLARD, Sunday Times
