«Ma maison a deux portes» is the autobiography of Han Suyin, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (602 pages, in French).
The narrative begins when Han Suyin finishes her medical studies in London and travels to Hong Kong and revolutionary China, which upends her family and surroundings. In Hong Kong she finds love, marries, and settles in Singapore; her travels across Asia and her private life are told with humor and tenderness, up to the eve of the Cultural Revolution.
The work continues Han Suyin's autobiographical saga about her Chinese family. Translated from the English by Anne Rabinovitch. The Le Livre de Poche edition offers the complete text in French.
It will appeal to readers of memoirs, as well as those who want to learn about 20th-century China through a personal testimony.
