Product Information

The emotionally wrenching yet ultimately uplifting memoir of a Chinese woman struggling to win the love and acceptance of her family. Born in 1937 in a port city a thousand miles north of Shanghai, Adeline Yen Mah was the youngest child of an affluent Chinese family who enjoyed rare privileges during a time of political and cultural upheaval. But wealth and position could not shield Adeline from a childhood of appalling emotional abuse at the hands of a cruel and manipulative stepmother. Determined to survive through her enduring faith in family unity, Adeline struggled for independence as she moved from Hong Kong to England and eventually to the United States to become a physician and writer. A compelling, painful, and ultimately triumphant story of a girl's journey into adulthood, Adeline's story is a testament to the most basic of human needs: acceptance, love, and understanding. With a powerful voice that speaks of the harsh realities of growing up female in a family and society that kept girls in emotional chains, Falling Leaves is a work of heartfelt intimacy and a rare authentic portrait of twentieth-century China. "Riveting. A marvel of memory. Poignant proof of the human will to endure." --Amy Tan

"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.

  • Falling Leaves by Adeline Yen Mah

    I enjoyed reading this nonfiction book. In retelling of childhood in China, one learns about everyday Chinese life. The author's prose motivates one to continue reading. The second half of the book could have provided more details. She remarries and has another child. How did the author raise her children? Does she feel fulfilled in her nuclear family now? One can only assume as no details are given. The author states often that her need for family is not about the money involved. Yet, money is the focus of the adult portrayed in the book. I thought the photos and Chinese sayings added to the text but feel an epilogue would be of benefit.

  • A touching story of a woman that triumphed against so much.

    I took non_western civilizations history in college and this was required reading. I also wrote a essay after reading it. The cover on this book review is completely different than the original one, I read. However, I ordered the one that had another cover. I don't want to give anything away but it is a good read. The chapters are just right in length and flow. It's an easy read that once you have read several chapters you'll want to keep on going. I actually found myself wanting to keep reading (that one more chapter). At night, I would review the chapters in my mind and look forward in excitement to reading more the next day. There is a lot of detail in this book. The author metaphorically paints pictures with the words. I could see the expressions and emotions in the paragraphs of her ...

  • a sad story that touches the heart

    This book is definately worth picking up. I was hooked from beginning to end, but I must say this book is a tear jerker. The horrible things the author goes through will make you want to change the world. I really think it's worth anyone's time and should not be taken lightly. It is, after all, the modern history of China from a different perspective.

  • Not what I expected..

    Falling into the belief that the book was about being born a girl child into Chinese culture that limited births to one per family, I purchased this book. That is not the story here! It is a tale of being ignored and neglected as a member of the family after her mother dies, and her Dad remarries. The neglect becomes worse after new children are added to the family. This book is about the authors feelings of wanting to be loved by her father and step-mother. It is a story of a truely disfunctional group that struggles between old traditions and new. I enjoyed the book after I finally realized the direction the book was heading in.
