Description

Shanghai Girls A Novel by Lisa See explores the complex bonds between sisters in the face of adversity. In 1937, Shanghai is portrayed as a city of great contrasts, where wealth and glamour coexist with poverty and oppression. The story follows two young women, Pearl and May Chin, who are forced to leave their home due to their father's financial struggles. As they embark on a journey across the Pacific, they face numerous challenges, including the harsh realities of life in America and the difficulties of adapting to new cultures. Through their experiences, See sheds light on the often-overlooked history of Chinese immigrants in the United States, offering a powerful portrayal of resilience and determination.
