I loved this book. It is a great period piece of China in the 30s, a time period that isn't seen in a lot of books that I've come across. It spans the young adult years of two sisters' lives, coming from wealthy Shanghai to impoverished Los Angeles. Their journey was filled with hardships and yet they still stayed strong enough to take care of each other. This is not just a story about Chinese women making it through a war in their country and another war in their new country, it is the story of sisters who would do anything for each other.
