I really did enjoy this one, especially as I didn’t know anything about the treatment of Chinese Americans during WWII. That was a real eye-opener. What I’ve really enjoyed about Lisa See is her ability to craft people with all their flaws and dislikeable bits as well as their virtues. It makes them so very alive.

I was surprised that I liked this book as well, I really didn't expect to. I can't believe where it ended! I hope there's a sequel too. S. Krishna’s last blog post..Along for the Ride – Sarah Dessen

I have just purchased the book an am eager to begin reading. I have read Lisa See’s books, Peony in Love, Snowflower and the Secret Fan, and On Gold Mountain. All were different from one another and all were quite good, with Snowflower being brilliant. On Gold Mountain is the history of her family in America, I highly recommend it.

I love Lisa See’s novels. I’ve read Snow Flower three or four times and I keep meaning to go back and read Peony again (Peony was a little different and took some time to digest, but I enjoyed it).

I’m really looking forward to picking this one up!

I know - this book just begs for a sequel! I had the same reaction when I reached the end. I even flipped through the last few blank pages to see if there was anything else mentioning a sequel. We'll just have to wait and see. Alyce’s last blog post..Color Online Summer Book Drive

I'm so glad to have the warning that it is not like See's other two books. That way can read this with fresh attitude. Beth F’s last blog post..Giveaway Winners: Secrets to Happiness

That's definitely the mark of a book I really liked to me too. Like I said before, I really have to read some Lisa See. Nymeth’s last blog post..Swimming in the Monsoon Sea by Shyam Selvadurai
