International bestselling author Jung Chang brings us Fly, Wild Swans, the long-awaited sequel to her iconic memoir Wild Swans—a book that defined a generation and remains banned in China.

Fly, Wild Swans picks up where Wild Swans left off, tracing Chang’s life and China’s transformation from the end of the Mao era to Xi Jinping’s authoritarian rule today. Chang explores how the political and cultural shifts of the last five decades have shaped her life and that of her mother, offering an immersive and deeply moving account of what it is like to live in a communist dictatorship and the threats modern China poses to the international world order.

Jung Chang is the bestselling author of Wild Swans, which has sold over 15 million copies worldwide. Her acclaimed works on Chinese history have been translated into over 40 languages and she holds a CBE for services to literature.

Wild Swans made me feel like a five-year-old. This is a family memoir that has the breadth of the most enduring social history.’  Martin Amis, Independent on Sunday 

Wheelchair Users and those with other access needs requiring a free Essential Carer ticket should contact the Quaytickets Box Office on 0161 876 2015 to purchase tickets.
