SHANGHAI GIRLS: A NOVEL

by Lisa Seen

Absolutely riveting storytelling from Lisa See. In 1937, two beautiful sisters who work as calendar girls in Shanghai are sold as wives to overseas Chinese men when their father loses the family fortune. Full of historical detail, this story is as much about the bonds of sisterhood as it is about the Asian-American immigrant experience.
