 Excellent historical information on Chinese families
I had just read Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See when I found this book. The Concubine's Children made China come alive knowing she was writing about actual people and those still living while she was doing her research. If you want to understand the history involving Chinese families and the culture, this is one not to miss. She made it all come alive especially with the family photos that you could refer back to when a new person was introduced or she was describing the home her father built.
These stories must be told
When I finished reading this book I had the desire to contact the author and thank her for her work.
Much to my surprise in this day she doesn't seem to have a website with the obligatory email link.
Thank you Denise for taking the time to bring this story to print.
You did a great job. And I am eager to read your subsequent books.
thanks again
Great Book, good condition
Received my order quickly, the book was is the advertised condition and I loved the book.
 Very dry reading
I couldn't wait to read this book after it arrived. But I was disappointed. Althought the topic was fascinating, the writing was not. I became bored and at times found it hard to follow which person was doing what. I had to re-read some paragraphs to make sure I knew which person I was reading about. If the writing had been better, it would have been a far more captivating book. Falling Leaves: The Memoir of an Unwanted Chinese Daughter was much better.
