Snow Falling in Spring: Coming of Age in China During the Cultural Revolution

by Moying Li

Farrar, Straus and Giroux 2008

Ages: 10 and Up

Topic: Life in Other Countries

This is a memoir of the wrenching years of the Cultural Revolution under Mao Zedong. Its even tone allows the terror to stand on its own. The book is written for young readers, but can also be a wonderful novel for adults. In essence, "This is a book about the value of reading - to escape, to learn, to be sustained and to grow." - John Schwartz in Children's Book Review, New York Times , August 17, 2008.
