I wrote a review of it about 3 months ago. Stunning book
about American daughter of illegal immigrant who idealistically
returned to China believing in the communist revolution. Covers
the horrific conditions of early conversion to communes.
True biography of a family. Although it is labeled historical
fiction.

It is on sale as an ebook on Bookbub just now.
Regularly 12.99 on sale for 2.99.

Huh. There's a name I have not heard in years. Think the last Jakes
I read was ... Mention My Name in Atlantis.

I would not be terribly surprised if his move from f&sf to historicals
helped inspire John Brunner to waste five years of his life on The
Great Steamboat Race.
