freham 's review for:

Dreams of Joy by Lisa See
4.0

If this had been written by someone without the detailed knowledge Lisa See has developed through her research and heritage, I would not have been as engaged. The fact that it is historical fiction and set in a country that I know so little about, made it even more appealing than it would otherwise have been. It has a political undertone to it that may turn off some, but for my taste, it was perfect.
