About This Novel

One of a trilogy of autobiographical novels by Eileen Chang, which unfolds her journey over the past forty years and tells the story of family entanglements, family prosperity and decline. It can be called the Republic of China version of "A Dream of Red Mansions" following "Leifeng Pagoda". "The Book of Changes" describes the heroine's experiences from the ages of eighteen to twenty-two, and is also based on Eileen Chang's own growth experience. Zhang Ailing once mentioned in a letter to her friend Song Qi: "Because "Leifeng Pagoda" is the first half of the original book, the mother and aunt in it are too ideal and unrealistic from the perspective of children." In contrast, "The Book of Changes" is all about adult characters. Therefore, I can observe and experience the vast scenes, complex characters and subtle emotions more freely. Every line of dialogue is elegant and ruthless, and the vicissitudes of life and youthful vitality of a girl are portrayed with endless aftertaste!
