Grandfather's Microscope

This is an insightful and moving memoir of a woman who has lived in two worlds: old China and modern America. Born in 1929 to a wealthy family in China, her childhood memories revolve around four unconventional people: a mother possessed by a ghost, an aristocratic grandmother who was an opium addict, a flamboyant father and an elusive aunt. In the background was a mysterious grandfather, murdered at the age of thirty-nine, and a German microscope he left behind. Mei Liu's early life was marked by family tragedies and dark secrets, and harrowing tales of living under Japanese occupation and Communist rule.Liu, Hsiang is the author of 'Grandfather's Microscope' with ISBN 9781401078294 and ISBN 140107829X.
