Win a copy of Cheng Lei’s extraordinary true story, A Memoir of Freedom

The Australian Plus members have the chance to win one of 70 copies of A Memoir of Freedom, by Cheng Lei.  

 

The extraordinary true story of journalist Cheng Lei whose life was abruptly transformed when she was detained in China on false charges of espionage.

 

Journalist Cheng Lei spent more than three grueling years in a Beijing prison after being wrongly accused of espionage. Harrowing, fierce and often darkly humorous, her memoir is about the power of the human spirit; bravery in the face of cruelty and pettiness; the consolations of letters, music and books; and how unexpected friendships and the love of family can unlock the courage we all have within us to prevail.
