International bestseller
'Immensely moving and unsettling; an unforgettable portrait of the brain-death of a nation.'
The Sunday Times
Wild Swans is a tragic tale of nightmarish cruelty and an uplifting story of bravery and survival.
Few books have had such an impact as Wild Swans: a popular bestseller and a critically acclaimed history of China that opened up the country to the world.
Through the story of three generations of women in her own family – the grandmother given to the warlord as a concubine, the Communist mother and the daughter herself – Jung Chang reveals the epic history of China's twentieth century.
Breathtaking in its scope, unforgettable in its descriptions, this is a masterpiece which is extraordinary in every way.
'Everything about Wild Swans is extraordinary. It arouses all the emotions, such as pity and terror, that great tragedy is supposed to evoke, and also a complex mixture of admiration, despair and delight at seeing a luminous intelligence directed at the heart of darkness.'
The Sunday Telegraph
'Wild Swans made me feel like a five-year-old. This is a family memoir that has the breadth of the most enduring social history.'
The Independent on Sunday
'There has never been a book like this.'
Los Angeles Times
