Hey all- I’ve recently reread Wild Swans by Jung Chang. It’s a biography/autobiography about three generations of her family growing up in 20th century China. Has anyone got any suggestions for other books of a similar genre (not necessarily China!)? Thank you in advance!

Another great Chinese autobiography (specifically about the Cultural Revolution) is Colours of the Mountain by Da Chen.
Other great autobiographies and memoirs that deal with cultural upheaval and multiple generations:
Hons and Rebels by Jessica Mitford
Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi
Angela’s Ashes by Frank McCourt
My Crazy Century by Ivan Klima
The World of Yesterday by Stefan Zweig
The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan.
