S01E14 | Stories of The Middle Kingdom: Books Set in China

China is a place full of great history and tradition, so it's no surprise why there are so many excellent works of fiction and non-fiction based on and set in this country. In this episode, Marina revisits the Middle Kingdom through some of her favourite (and not so favourite) books. From tales of life during the Mao regime to the opium war, or just of people in search of better lives, these reads capture the magic of this fascinating nation.

Mentioned this episode:

  • Jung Chang - Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China; Empress Dowager Cixi: The Concubine Who Launched Modern China
  • James Clavell - Tai-Pan; Noble House
  • Amitav Ghosh - River of Smoke
  • Timothy Mo - An Insular Possession
  • Xiaolu Guo - Once Upon a Time in the East: A Story of Growing Up
  • Tash Aw - Five Star Billionaire
