Xinran, author of The Good women of China and Sky Burial, described her childhood and working life in China and how she stored her experiences and insights in order to write her latest book Message from an unknown Chinese mother. This book tells the stories of Chinese mothers whose daughters have been wrenched from them, and also brings us the voices of some adoptive mothers from different parts of the world. These are stories which Xinran could not bring herself to tell previously - because they were too painful and close to home. She was in tears during the interview and so were members of the audience.
