"I read for two nights, sleepless, my heart pierced by Adeline Yen
Mah's account of her terrible childhood. Falling Leaves is a potent
psychological drama pitting a stubborn little girl against the most
merciless of adversaries and rivals: her own family. I am still
haunted by Mah's memoir."
—Amy Tan, author of The Joy Luck Club
"Painful and lovely, at once heartbreaking and heartening."
—Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post
"Brilliant, compelling, and unforgettable. A heartrending
modern-day Cinderella story set against the turbulence of
twentieth-century China. Autobiography at its best."
—Nien Chang, author of Life and Death in Shanghai
