Jung Chang
Fly, Wild Swans: My Mother, Myself and China
Few books have had such an impact as Wild Swans, a popular bestseller which has sold more than 13 million copies and was a critically acclaimed history, reaching a wider readership than any other book about China.
Fly, Wild Swans brings the story of Jung’s family – along with that of China – up to date. In conversation with BBC broadcaster and journalist Samira Ahmed, Jung will chart her path from arriving in the UK in 1978 to today’s authoritarian rule of Xi Jinping, reflecting on the new freedoms that came at the cost of a long-term separation from her family.
‘It is Chang’s sympathetic, storyteller’s eye ― her attention to deeply human detail during the most extraordinary circumstances ― that makes her work remarkable.’
