Sequel to Shanghai Girls, although to be honest I didn't remember a lot of the details from that one and I was fine. Joy is a Chinese-American who has just finished her first year of college in 1958. Angry after her father's suicide, she runs away to become a member of Red China. Her mother follows her to try and convince her to come back. I found the descriptions of what went on in the communes horrifying and disturbing, yet the entire book was compelling.

This book is really good. But the rest of the trilogy is kinda poo.
