Shanghai Girls

Shanghai Girls
by: Lisa See

I REALLY liked this book. I also really liked the book this author wrote before...Snowflower and the Secret Fan. Excellent!

Shanghai Girls is set in Shanghai, 1937. These 2 rich girl's lives get torn apart when they discover that things were not as they seemed. Their father did not have the money they thought.

They are thrown into arranged marriages. I hate to give anything away. This is a very interesting book, lots of insights into the lives of girls living in China and in the U.S. at that time.

What do we become when hard times and trouble come our way?

This is a good one!
