Lisa See
"Mesmerizing...astonishing...absolutely impossible to forget."
-The Boston Globe
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.

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. Lisa See lives in Los Angeles.
