Have you ever read Wild Swans? She also wrote Mao, The Unknown Story. Wild Swans is the story of the 20th century in China, through the lens of 3 women, grandmother, mother, and daughter. The daughter is the author, Jung Chang.
It's an amazing book, one of my favorites. Chinese history of this period will really stick with you after reading it.

No, but that sounds like a good one! I'm going to check it out now. I really enjoyed the Mao book. I had no sense of him as a person and I certainly do now.
