In this fine example of historical fiction, Min (Red Azalea) sketches with powerful strokes the arc of the life the woman who would become Madame Mao. She paints Jiang Ching in all her horrible, compelling and vindictive glory. The novel is not only a portrait of a damaged woman but of China throughout much of the 20th Century.
