52 books 23

23. Bend not break by Ping Fu

When I read this book I found it very moving , and the fact that this was China's very recent history was shocking as viewed from a very personal perspective. My daughter reviewed this book on goodreads and gave it 5 stars.She told me another reader had queried the authenticity of Ping Fu's story. On Amazons reviews opinions were very polarized with some readers providing very reasoned arguments as to certain aspects of her story being very improbable. Even if read as a novel her story of overcoming a harrowing childhood to find ultimate business success  was a great read.Her driven
nature did mean her personal happiness was compromised in some ways.
