“At the Edge of Empire: A Family’s Reckoning with China,” by Edward Wong Wong, a New York Times correspondent, uses his father’s memories of his childhood in Guandong province and Hong Kong — through his university studies in Beijing and his military service in both northeast and far northwest China — as the framework to explore Imperial Chinese history and even modern-day events there.
Hannah is a top writer of historical fiction partly because of her talent for pulling readers into her stories from the first page. Hannah writes descriptively, so you can experience the times along with her characters.
