drchanequa 's review for:
The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane
by Lisa See
“No coincidence, no story” is the Akha saying that begins Lisa See’s tale of Li-yan, a young ethnic minority woman born in a rural Chinese village. This is an absolutely beautiful tale of cultural change, tragedy and triumph, international adoption, women, and tea. See’s description of the Akha people and Pu’er tea is so compelling that I started researching both in the reading of the book. And I felt invested in the main characters so much that I want this to be a real story! This was my first book by Lisa See but it won’t be the last.
