She is best known for her family autobiography Wild Swans, which has sold over 10 million copies worldwide but is banned in the People's Republic of China. Her 832-page biography of Mao Zedong, Mao: The Unknown Story, written with her husband, the Irish historian Jon Halliday, and touching on parts of her personal memoir, was published in June 2005. Reception of the work by academics is mixed, though the work has received acclaim in the popular press."
