Fly, Wild Swans: My Mother, Myself and China is the follow-up to Wild Swans, bringing the story of Jung Chang's family - and of China - up to date. 

Nearly half a century on from Wild Swans, China is no longer a decrepit and isolated state, having risen to a become a global power and challenging the United States' stronghold on the world. 

While Wild Swans is an epic personal history of Jung, her mother and grandmother - the 'three daughters of China' -  Fly, Wild Swans is Jung's love letter to her mother.

Jung's books have sold millions of copies outside of mainland China but are banned there.
