    This book is amazing. I truly admire Adeline Yen Mah's writing. She realy had a horrible childhood and Im glad she had Aunt Baba, Ye Ye, Nai Nai and her school friends to help her make it through

    Chinese Cinderella is the autobiography of Adeline Yen Mah and concentrates on her childhood in China. Born into a wealthy family as the fifth child, she is disliked by her older siblings and her father because her mother died after her birth. She is blamed for the mother's death and is only loved by her grandfather and her aunt Baba. The childlike voice and the naivity with which the author retells her childhood is heartbreaking and gives an interesting insight into the life of this neglected child. All the more the reader feels compelled to cheer for this little girl who does not give up and decides from this horrible childhood like phoenix out of the ashes and is to become a successful adult.

    i remember this book at school and have never forgotten it! soo sad it makes u cry. apparantly the Adelines a famous well known doctor or something now and she truly deserves it after such a horrifying childhood. She certainly achieved all her dreams despite everything. beautiful
