I loved the historical detail and challenges posed to the characters in Lisa See's Shanghai Girls. Here, however, the premise of the book is so utterly unrealistic and untrue to history that I couldn't read very far into the book. This book's opening scenes also seemed to portend a train wreck of black-and-white thinking about China, which wasn't found in See's earlier book.
