  • "Nine year old Ling is comfortable with her life. But when Comrade Li, one of Mao's political officers, moves into a room in their apartment, Ling begins to witness the disintegration of her world. iIn an atmosphere of increasing mistrust, Ling fears for the safety of her neighbours, and soon for herself and her family."@en
  • "The title belies the content of this riveting fictional account of life in China under Mao. Told from the perspective of Ling, the young daughter of two doctors, the story chronicles her fatherÕs imprisonment, attacks by schoolmates, betrayal by neighbors, and her sometimes painful relationship with her mother. Jodi LongÕs portrayal of MaoÕs dogmatic and screeching lieutenants is scary, a feeling that is relieved by the fatherÕs gentleness and LingÕs own determination and resourcefulness. LongÕs voice sounds older than LingÕs might be at 9 or even 13, when the story ends, but thatÕs a quibble. Though the packaging says Òrecommended for ages 12 to 17,Ó this short production should hold anyoneÕs attention."@en
