About a third of the way into the novel, we're treated to a quote from Chairman Mao: "A revolution is not a dinner party... A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another." Truer words were never written. Revolution Is Not a Dinner Party is a powerful and graceful novel in which we watch our youthful narrator blossom and grow in spite of all the hardships and horrors she and her family suffer.
