Told from 2 POVs, this is the story of Jasmine, a Chinese nanny who works for Rebecca, a wealthy NYer. Jasmine fled to America to try to find her daughter who was taken from her at birth. While there were a lot of good twists and really great thoughts on women's roles, I did find myself skimming the pages alot.
