"Bette Bao Lord's unique web of friendships has enabled her to bring us into the Chinese essence through her own story and - interwoven with it - the stories of her clansmen and others.  Individual voices ring through these pages: men and women (many of necessity anonymous) pouring out their memories, letting us into their hearts, into the tumultuous Chinese experience of the last half century.  Their stories bear witness to the surreal realities of revolutionary China - a society where one day's solid ground may will be the next day's quicksand."
