| Résumé : |
Falling Leaves is the true story of Adeline Yen Mah, who was born in north-east China in 1937. Her mother died as a result of her birth, which left her father a sad man feeling in need of a new life. Adeline’s father seemed never to fully forgive her for his wife’s death. He married again soon after and Adeline’s new stepmother, a beautiful young woman they called Niang (a Chinese word meaning mother), strongly disliked
her. Father and Niang had two other children together: Franklin (who Niang loved) and Susan (who Niang did not love). Adeline and her brothers and sisters suffered emotionally and physically from their cruel stepmother’s words and actions – but Adeline suffered more than the others. Her story is full of the pain and heartbreak of a young girl always hoping that her father will be proud of her. But it is also a story of hope. |
