Adapted from Adeline Yen Mah's best-selling book, this is a compelling, painful, and ultimately triumphant story of a girl's journey into adulthood. Her struggle to be loved by a family that treated her cruelly is bolstered by an equally fascinating portrait of the domestic affairs of her immensely wealthy Chinese family in Shanghai, as the city changed under the harsh strictures of Mao and Deng. Yen Mah's father knew how to make money and survive, regardless of the regime in power. But he was in thrall to his second wife, whose behaviour towards his first five children, especially Adeline, makes Cinderella's stepmother seem angelic. The extraordinary power struggle between Adeline and her step mother lies at the heart of this heart-stopping drama.
