Query: No sympathy for the author

I must admit, the book kept my interest but only because I kept waiting for the author to stop playing victim and move on with her life. Unfortunately it never came. Adeline Yen Mah details how her great aunt defied her own foot binding at age 3 and went on to open a very successful bank in China and how her aunt works at that bank and never marries; both women defying cultural norms and with obvious admiration from the author. However, Ms. Yen Mah then justifies her own kowtowing to her distant father and vindictive step-mother as "the way it is in Chinese families". This is after her step-mother and father are less than filial towards her paternal grandfather. By the end of the book it is apparent Ms. Yeh Mah was only sticking around for the inheritance than never came. And then she cries foul and writes a tell-all book. It was a rather off-putting read.
