ECHO OF A CRY by Sze Mai-mai

ECHO OF A CRY

By

Pub Date: Oct. 11th, 1945
Publisher: Harcourt, Brace

The daughter of a Chinese diplomat who came to England as a child writes her story of English and American schooling, of the family adjustment to ways of other countries, of the reconciliation of the new ways with the traditional Chinese patterns of living. A serious, meditative record, occasionally lightened with charming adventures, such as a trip with gypsies, a stay with English Quakers- not apt to appeal to the average American schoolgirl audience.
