Description:
Lisa See is the author of five previous bestsellers, including the critically acclaimed New York Times bestsellers Peony in Love, and Snow Flower and the Secret Fan. She is also the author of the highly praised memoir, On Gold Mountain. Shanghai Girls is her first novel to take place in America. It is a richly woven tale about two sisters who, through arranged marriages, leave Shanghai in 1937 for Los Angeles. The conflicts to reconcile different cultures; the struggles of two women to find a new life in a strange land weave a dramatic tapestry about family, duty and loyalty.
