Description
"China in 1975 was a strange, undiscovered country, still half-mad from Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution, when young Frances Wood boarded a plane in London to study for a year in Peking. Based on the letters she wrote home, this account of her experiences is both affecting and hilarious, a unique insight into a mysterious and painful moment in China's history."--Back cover.
