I read [b:The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane|25150798|The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane|Lisa See|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1472151037l/25150798._SY75_.jpg|44851955] by Lisa See and loved it so much I picked up [b:Shanghai Girls|5960325|Shanghai Girls (Shanghai Girls #1)|Lisa See|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1327968416l/5960325._SY75_.jpg|5991850] right away. And then, b/c of how that one ended, I picked up Dreams of Joy immediately! Well, that was a little too much for me and I put it down after about 3 chapters. I knew I'd love it at some later point---which, turns out was just now!
I loved every bit of this book--being with Pearl and Joy again, watching them both grow and then seeing what communist China was like for the countryside and the city. It was certainly a heart-breaking book, but also very heart-warming, too. Great historical fiction and family story.
