This book is a very detailed account of the rise of communism in China, through the eyes of a granddaughter telling her grandmother's and mother's stories, along with her own. Each regime that these women live through impact people's lives both positively and negatively. Mao's communism is seen in the details of the everyday person's life. And the ideas that the typical communist has of capitalists is eye-opening.
