Informazioni su questo ebook


The acclaimed memoir from the bestselling author of Empress Orchid

'Historically remarkable ... intensely moving' SUNDAY TIMES
'The book sings. It is a small masterpiece' VOGUE

Born into a devoutly Maoist family in 1950s Shanghai and forced to work on a communal farm from the age of seventeen, Anchee Min found herself in an alienating and hostile political climate, where her only friendships were perilous and intense.

Both candid and touching, this compelling memoir documents her isolation and illicit love against the backdrop of China's Cultural Revolution. From her coming of age in the Red Guard to her recruitment into Madame Mao's burgeoning industry of propaganda movies, Red Azalea explores the secret sensuality of a repressive society with elegance and honesty.
