Synopsis
Night of Many Dreams is the bestselling novel from Gail Tsukiyama that tells the tale of two sisters separated by ambition, bound by tradition As World War II threatens their comfortable life in Hong Kong, young Joan and Emma Lew escape with their family to spend the war years in Macao. When they return home, Emma develops a deep interest in travel and sets her sights on an artistic life in San Francisco, while Joan turns to movies and thoughts of romance to escape the pressures of her real life. As the girls become women, each follows a path different from what her family expects. But through periods of great happiness and sorrow, the sisters learn that their complicated ties to each other--and to the other members of their close-knit family--are a source of strength as they pursue their separate dreams., As World War II threatens their comfortable life in Hong Kong, young Joan and Emma Lew escape with their family to spend the war years in Macao.

    Quickly shipped. Very safely and economically packaged. Used as described but after surface dust brushed off is playing great. Good value for collector’s double album.

  • Night of Many Dreams tells of the many dreams young girls have they grow up to adulthood.

    Night of Many Dreams is one of the most emotional and historically accurate book of the Chinese culture during the WW2 era, that I have ever read. Gail Tsukiyama describes in moving detail how two young girls struggle through friendship and young adulthood. This is the first time I read this author, and will not only try to get other of her books but will also highly recommend it to my friends and book club. Thank you for offering it on Ebay.
