Chinese Cinderella by Adeline Yen Mah Book Summary

More than 800,000 copies in print!
 
From the author of critically acclaimed and bestselling memoir Falling Leaves, this is a poignant and moving true account of her childhood, growing up as an unloved daughter in 1940s China.

A Chinese proverb says, "Falling leaves return to their roots." In her own courageous voice, Adeline Yen Mah returns to her roots to tell the story of her painful childhood and her ultimate triumph in the face of despair. 

Adeline's affluent, powerful family considers her bad luck after her mother dies giving birth to her, and life does not get any easier when her father remarries. Adeline and her siblings are subjected to the disdain of her stepmother, while her stepbrother and stepsister are spoiled with gifts and attention. Although Adeline wins prizes at school, they are not enough to compensate for what she really yearns for -- the love and understanding of her family. Like the classic Cinderella story, this powerful memoir is a moving story of resilience and hope. 

Includes an Author's Note, a 6-page photo insert, a historical note, and the Chinese text of the original Chinese Cinderella.

Loved it!!! <3. I read this book for my book report, as a suggestion from my teachers website and, I saw Chinese Cinderella. So I went on iBooks and, found it. I couldn't stop reading it! I finished in five days! I cried alot during the parts. I was so sad this happened... It was very detailed and great. This is a great book to read, for a book report or, reading just for fun!! <3 Loved it!!!

5 stars. I originally had to read this book for school, but it was so good I had to read ahead. It is a wonderful story about a girl who yearned for acceptance from her parents and siblings. It is sad, yet interesting. Definitely recommend.

Touching. This book had me flipping pages from the next to the next. A very sad book indeed but Mah puts the feeling back into writing. 5 stars

Chinese Cinderella. Gripping story of triumph over despair. Set during the communist takeover of China, it is appropriate for the young adult audience, however, readers of all ages will enjoy this true story of a young girl's resilience against all odds, both political and as an unloved, unwanted stepdaughter.
