Jung Chang is probably best known for her hugely successful family autobiography Wild Swans, however she has also written two historic books Mao: The Unknown Story and Empress Dowager Cixi. Now she tells the extraordinary story of three sisters who due to marriage and family association found themselves at the centre of the tumultuous events that engulfed 20th century China. We have Red Sister, Ching-ling who married the still revered ‘Father of China’, Sun Yat-sen and due to our allegiance to the Communist cause went on to become Mao’s vice-chair and remain diametrically opposed to her nationalist supporting sisters. There is Little Sister, May-ling, who would marry the nationalist leader of pre-Communist China Chiang Kai-shek and as first lady insert much influence and there is Big Sister, Ei-ling who again exerted much influence over Chiang Kai-shek and controversially through undoubted corruption (ably supported by her husband who himself became President of the Republic of China) became one of China’s richest women. This book tells the story of Penny, a curious and lovable mouse, who wants to sing the song she composed when she comes home from school. However, Papa and Mama are a little reluctant to hear Penny’s song because they are afraid it might wake up the sleeping babies.
