Title: Don't bother
Review: In America we might have called the author a self-absorbed, spoiled brat...but given the era she grew up in, the abject poverty and the political upheaval, I might be tempted to forgive most of her ego-centricism. However, the story remains predictable, without any endearing characters (yes, I know they are real people, but even real people should have something intriguing about them). Perhaps the author should have written a story about her father instead...I did get intrigued by the mother's story, too.
