With each new novel, Lisa See gets better and better. Each work is more tightly woven, richer with information, its characters more memorable than the last Los Angeles Times, on Dreams of Joy A saga that presses topical buttons . there is plenty of high emotion and heartbreak, plus the fascination of its setting Elizabeth Buchan, Sunday Times, on Dreams of Joy Part love story, part family saga, part historical fiction, this vividly descriptive book is above all an exploration of the trials and triumphs, the rivalries and delights of sisterhood Daily Mail, on Shanghai Girls Achingly beautiful, a marvel of imagination of a real and secret world that has only recently disappeared. It is a story so mesmerising that the pages float away and the story remains clearly before us from beginning to end Amy Tan, on Snow Flower and the Secret Fan
