The author of Wild Swans is Jung Chang, but she's a Chinese British writer, not an American one... Good book recommendation, though!

Has anybody read Chinese Cinderella? That was my favourite book as a child. I'm not sure if the lady who wrote it was American, but she was Chinese at least. She also has another book which is an expansion of Chinese Cinderella but I haven't read it yet.

The author of Chinese Cinderella is Adeline Yen Mah and she is Chinese American, so that would work!

Chinese Cinerella sounds interesting! Thanks for the recommendation!
Isn´t she the author of Falling Leaves?

(sorry to interrupt the question) I would recommend you The Remains Of The Day by Kazuo Ishiguro, but I think he's Asian-British...
