What begins as a straightforward account of her recollections (with a slightly wonky chronology, skipping back and forth, as memory often does) finally develops into something deeper in the last 40 or so pages, where Anna begins to honour the complexity of her upbringing and contextualise the trauma she endured.

Made In China is Educated meets In Order To Live, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoyed those memoirs.

My full review of Made In China appeared first on Keeping Up With The Penguins.
