Becoming Madame Mao, by Anchee Min, although a fictional narrative, accurately portrays the life of Mao Zedong’s wife, the radical Jiang Qing, as well as Mao’s ruthless, idiosyncratic rule culminating in the Cultural Revolution. Min lived through those times, joining the Red Guards, being sent to a labor camp, and eventually working for Jiang Qing as a film actress. ( ) Written in a simple style, this fiction book in the form of an autobiography of the infamous Madame Mao was a quick, informative read. Jiang Ching was a strong-willed child who refused to have her feet bound in the traditional way. Her 'Liberation" feet led her on a path from obscurity to becoming an actress, and on to being the most powerful woman in China during the Cultural Revolution. I was slightly irritated by the writing style. Short, choppy sentences. Jumping from first to third person for no discernible purpose. However, in the end, I learned more about this period in China's history, and I was entertained. Maybe not the highest praise, but it fits into my description of a 3.5 star book: "Good but not great." ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Den frygtede kvinde var født af en konkubine og opdraget af bedsteforældrene. Som skuespiller mødte og ægtede hun Mao. Hendes magt og kynisme gav hende mange fjender, inden hun endte i fængsel. No library descriptions found. |
