Synopsis
Lisa See's enthralling epic follows the descent of May and Pearl, two sisters living in Shanghai in the late 1930s, whose idyllic lives of luxury and glamour are irrevocably shattered after their parents sell them as brides to two Chinese-Americans. At first, the girls rebel against the decision and go into hiding, but they are soon discovered by the invading Japanese army, whose barbaric acts further traumatize them. They decide to seek their "husbands" in California, which leads to the arduous ordeal of immigration, where more bitter family secrets are revealed. The girls must then adapt and assimilate to postwar Los Angeles, where they settle into quiet lives as Chinese housewives, forced to work menial jobs and act as servants to their misanthropic men. This magnificent saga features historical insight and emotional impacts on every page, as Lisa See cements her status as the reigning master of American fiction with a Chinese theme.

Publisher's Note
For readers of the phenomenal bestsellers Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and Peony in Love-a stunning new novel from Lisa See about two sisters who leave Shanghai to find new lives in 1930s Los Angeles

May and Pearl, two sisters living in Shanghai in the mid-1930s, are beautiful, sophisticated, and well-educated, but their family is on the verge of bankruptcy. Hoping to improve their social standing, May and Pearl's parents arrange for their daughters to marry “Gold Mountain men” who have come from Los Angeles to find brides.

But when the sisters leave China and arrive at Angel's Island (the Ellis Island of the West)-where they are detained, interrogated, and humiliated for months-they feel the harsh reality of leaving home. And when May discovers she's pregnant the situation becomes even more desperate. The sisters make a pact that no one can ever know.

A novel about two sisters, two cultures, and the struggle to find a new life in America while bound to the old, Shanghai Girls is a fresh, fascinating adventure from beloved and bestselling author Lisa See.

From the Hardcover edition.

Industry Reviews
"If you're looking for one of those wonderful 'take me someplace exotic and unfamiliar' books for summer, you won't do better than SHANGHAI GIRLS...from novelist Lisa See....[She] masterfully weaves the intimate story of these sisters and their extended family with the larger tales of Chinese immigrants struggling to get along in an unfamiliar, often hostile new land."
(06/07/2009)

"See's skillful plotting and richly drawn characters immediately draw in the reader, covering 20 years of love, loss, heartbreak and joy while delivering a sobering history lesson....[T]his is an accomplished and absorbing novel."
(03/23/2009)

"[A] graceful, meticulous examination of the lives of two irrepressible sisters....Pearl and Meg, [who] are, through See's splendid depiction, sympathetic and fascinating characters....See, whose writing is as graceful as these 'beautiful girls,' pulls off another exceptional novel."
(06/21/2009)

"See is a gifted writer, and in SHANGHAI GIRLS she again explores the bonds of sisterhood while powerfully evoking the often nightmarish American immigrant experience."
(06/12/2009)
