From the rear cover
"Yue's book is a terrifying memoir of more than two decades of party-directed persecution, the most vivid account to date of the violence of the Maoist years."--Jonathan Mirsky, London Times Literary Supplement "A valuable report on a world from which we have had little news, by an intelligent woman survivor who was at the center of the turbulence."--Barbara Probst Solomon, New York Times "It is Yue's tremendous capacity to endure suffering, physical and mental, and her equally strong recall of minute and significant detail, that make one listen very hard to her quiet, candid voice as it weaves this complex, rich, and durable fabric of words."--Thomas D'Evelyn, Christian Science Monitor "This stirring autobiography . . . is a testament to the human spirit."--Fran Rosenberg, New Directions for Women "A particularly poignant and painful book because [Yue], a well-known intellectual at Peking University, still manages to retain her faith in the Chinese Communist party, even thought this faith is more thoughtful and less unquestioning by the end of her account of 30 turbulent years."--Elizabeth Wright, London Daily Telegraph
