Eighth Moon: The True Story of A Young Girl's Life In Communist China | Literary Precedents

There is never enough food, there is never enough privacy, and there is constant, unrelenting fear. The young women have to watch every word they say; only in these books are they able to reveal their thoughts about the people and situations they encounter.
