This is probably the easiest prompt yet for me! Finished this book a couple of weeks ago and found it fascinating - the author grew up during the Cultural Revolution before moving to the US and then France.

This is really eye-opening so can't be anything other than 5 ⭐.

Would be great for #integrateyourshelf #womenintranslationmonth @ChasingOm @Emilymdxn

Also letter X for #litsyatoz @BookishMarginalia (author)

I read this book for the letter X on my Author #LitsyAtoZ. I have to say it was quite a refreshing read, & quite a contrast - one person‘s journey before, during & after the Chinese Cultural Revolution. A great memoir if you enjoy memoirs & had a backdrop of music to the book, which is interesting given the aims of the Cultural Revolution. If you are more into music and the classical composers I think you will enjoy this book even more than I did.

Started listening to this book, covering one person‘s experiences before and during the Cultural Revolution in China. Listening to this for letter X in my author audiobook #LitsyAtoZ.

I found this book while scrolling through my kindle library today and remembered that I want to read it soon 📚 The Secret Piano is a true story of the author‘s life as a pianist and how her life changed during the Cultural Revolution. #augustisatrip #china #womenintranslation
