LEGACIES is the testament of a woman who is at once profoundly a daughter of her ancestral China and equally a child of America. Speakers who are identified only by tags like "actress," "joker" or "peasant" share their feelings and memories with her. We see a surreal society where one day's solid ground is the next day's quicksand. Only the astonishing Chinese could have produced it...or borne it!
"Bette Bao Lord's stunning collection of oral histories is the work of an expert storyteller...portraits that get to the essence of what it means to be Chinese in our time." (The New York Times)
