Helpful Score: 1

See has written a compelling story of 2 sisters in war-torn China. She offers insight into the traditions of China, and is, at times, brutally realistic about the struggles Chinese people would have faced in coming to America in the early or mid-20th century. I relished See's descriptions of the places and people, and enjoyed recognizing familiar landmarks here in Los Angeles. It was a very worthwhile read, though I was disappointed by the open-endedness of the storyline, perhaps meant to invite a sequel.
