Review

Revolution Is Not a Dinner Party

More autobiographical than not, this book manages to capture the excesses of the Cultural Revolution and all of the horrible things that occurred during that time and to juxtapose them with a nostalgia for the time that is a reminder of why home is where the heart is.
