Description

Chinese Cinderella: A Moving Autobiographical Novel

This powerful and moving memoir tells the story of Adeline Yen Mah's life as an unwanted daughter in China. Set against the backdrop of Japanese occupation, the book explores themes of cultural identity, family relationships, friendship, and the struggle for individuality in a society that often prioritizes conformity.

Through a series of vivid snapshots, Adeline recounts her experiences growing up in a traditional Chinese family, where she faced challenges and hardships that shaped her into the person she is today. The book also delves into the origins of the Cinderella story, which has its roots in ancient China, making it an excellent choice for exploring narrative structure and comparative cultural studies.
