Falling Leaves- Adeline Yen Mah

         I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed the story Chinese Cinderella. It was basically the same exact story, but it was far more deatailed and it starts in 1886 when GongGong is just three years old and will not have her feet bouynd. She flat out refuses and takes off the bandages as fast as they were put on. Also, the story goes beyond the point of college. When she wins the playwright contest and finds out she can go to college in England, with her brothers, the story doesn't stop there. It goes all through her college days and a little beyond them. She talks about her triumph's and losses in this wonderful story. Quite frankly, this is one of the best books I have ever read.
