Falling Leaves by Adeline Yen Mah is an autobiography, illustrating the author's hardship in her childhood. Ever since Adeline's stepsister came into her family home, her childhood seemed to shatter. She was unwanted by her father and step-mother and was bullied by her older siblings. Adeline’s only guidance was her Aunt Baba, Ye Ye (grandfather) and occasionally her older brother James. The reason why she was unwanted was because of her mother’s death by giving birth to Adeline, therefore she was thought as cursed. This novel illustrates her constant struggles through various wars, revolutions, and an attempt to being accepted by her family. I actually read another version of Falling Leaves, but I actually liked this version a lot better. This is because there were many details based not only on her childhood but also after she has grown up. So I recommend reading Chinese Cinderella by Adeline Yen Mah before reading Falling Leaves. I found Adeline’s constant struggles with Niang (stepmother) and her siblings very interesting and sad at the same time. I would not recommend this novel for people who enjoy reading something light and humorous. This is because the outcome of Adeline and her family’s relationship was a very shocking and sad ending. However I did find this novel very enjoyable with many historical aspects of China at that time. Spoilers: I must admit that the betrayal of Adeline’s siblings shocked me greatly even after they have grown up into adults. And I am absolutely furious with Adeline’s siblings for betraying her especially James and Lydia, I could never get over this anger.
