chinese cinderella
After a while I said, "When did mama die?" "Your mama came down with fever three days after you were born. She died when you were two weeks old..."Though I was only four years old, I understood I shouldnt ask Aunt Baba too many questions about my dead mama. Big Sister once told me, "Aunt Baba and Mama used to be best friends. A long time ago, they worked together in a bank in Shanghai owned by our grandaunt, the youngest sister of Grandfather Ye Ye. But then Mama died giving birth to you. If you had not been born, Mama would have still be alive. She died because of youYou are bad luck."
finished it 3 hours straight.
best book ever read :)
