ADELINE YEN MAH is a physician and writer who lives in Huntington Beach, California, and spends time as well in London and Hong Kong.
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
