Falling Leaves by Adeline Yen Mah

The book is about the girl. It talk about the girl's life. When she was young her mother was died. Her father remarried with young pretty women. Also the sept-mother has two children. She had sept-mother now but the sept-mother didn't like her. She was very smart and she went to other country to study. She married two times. she didn't love first husband but she love second husband. So she was happy more then she live with first husband.

I was shocked with how much abuse that girl had to put up with from her Niang, which is another word for mother. It was good that finally her parents had started to neglect her less and apreciate her sklls and knowledge more as her parents were in need. I felt that it was interesting becuase they included a lot of 20th century history in China as the years went on. adelines family, were obviously very wealthy and had never really found it ahrd to manage through those tough times.
