Loading... Chinese Cinderella: The True Story of an Unwanted Daughter (1999)by Adeline Yen Mah
Chinese Cinderella is the perfect title for Adeline Yen Mah’s memoir of her childhood growing up in China during the 1940s as she endures life ruled by a cruel stepmother. The book Chinese Cinderella is an autobiography written by Adeline Yen Mah, a woman in her fifties, about her horrible childhood. When I first saw this book, I didn't expect it to be such a captivating, enjoyable and life-changing book. Told in first person narrative, “Chinese Cinderella” recounts Adeline's extraordinary childhood as an unwanted daughter- how she was treated by her cruel stepmother and her family. This book also outlines Adelines struggle to find a place where she feels she belongs. This is definitely one of the stories that I'll never forget. After reading this autobiography, I realize how much luckier and blessed I am than her, and that even a girl who has gone through so much pain can still succeed in life. This story is simple heart-breaking, touching and absolutely inspirational. The Chinese CInderella is based on a true story of a little miserable girl. It tells us the story of her childhood and the tragic experiences she faces because of her family members and teachers. It is definitely an excellent book that would have the reader's in tears by the end of the story. The true story of this little girl would have readers think twice on their lifestyle and is a book that could not be missed. The very sad, very poignant story of Adeline Yen Mah's childhood, growing up as a neglected, unwanted, "bad luck" daughter. Far from being happy but certainly intriguing, seeing as how I finished it in two days, which is a feat for me. Not quite sure who I would recommend it to, but if you have a chance to read it, I definitely would. The story gave me an insight into a world that I could never have imagined for myself. Regardless of whether or not you can relate to Adeline's feelings of abandonment and worthlessness, this book is written in a very approachable manner that is sure to stir your sympathy. no reviews | add a review
