Eine ergreifende Familiengeschichte, die zugleich die Geschichte Chinas im 20. Jahrhundert widerspiegelt. In »Wilde Schwäne« erzählt Jung Chang die bewegende Geschichte ihrer eigenen Familie und damit die Geschichte Chinas von der Kaiserzeit über die Herrschaft Maos bis zum Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts. Ihre Großmutter, ihre Mutter und sie selbst müssen erfahren, wie die rücksichtslose Umsetzung politischer Ideen Millionen Menschen das Leben kostet und das Überleben nur unter großem Leid möglich macht. Dieser biografische Roman gewährt einen tiefen Einblick in die Auswirkungen der politischen Umwälzungen auf das Leben der Menschen und zeigt, wie der Kampf ums Überleben unter den repressiven Regimen Chinas von einer Generation zur nächsten weitergegeben wurde. Ein bewegendes Zeugnis der jüngeren chinesischen Geschichte, das die Leser nicht unberührt lassen wird.
