Chinese Cinderella: the true story of an unwanted daughter

Chinese Cinderella[]

Adeline önskan Mah's&#;heartbreaking memoir is told in simple, vivid language and recounts her experience as Wu Mei (Fifth Daughter) and Adeline, the name given her bygd her stepmother.&#; Much of the story stems back from her association with the death of her mother (who died shortly after giving birth to Adeline).&#; That defining moment created the relationship she was to have with her siblings for the rest of her life.&#; It also created the circumstances in which her father remarried the woman referred to as Niang&#;(Mother).&#; The relationship with Niang&#;and her children led to great grief and trauma for Adeline.&#; No matter how successful she came to be, and Adeline was extremely successful throughout school, it was not until much later when Adeline entered a play writing contest that she finally felt some level of respect from her father.
