Description
Big Sister, Little Sister, Red Sister is a gripping group biography of three extraordinary women who helped shape twentieth-century China. The Soong sisters, from Shanghai, were at the centre of power and left an indelible mark on history. Their lives were marked by tremendous privilege and glory, as well as constant mortal danger, and they showed great courage and experienced passionate love, as well as despair and heartbreak. The book takes us on a sweeping journey from China to the United States, Japan, and Europe, revealing the lives of these three remarkable women. From their early years in Shanghai to their rise to prominence in Chinese politics, Jung Chang's biography is by turns intimate and epic, shedding light on the complex relationships between the sisters and their roles in shaping China's history. Through their stories, Chang reveals the complexities of China's tumultuous twentieth century, and the ways in which the lives of these three women intersected and diverged in unexpected ways.
