Dreams of Joy by Lisa See
4.0

Lisa See is extremely talented. Her storytelling is outstanding. Her writing is solid. I recently read Shanghai Girls and Dreams of Joy and was very impressed. Although some of the characters got on my nerves (really my only complaint), I am still thinking about this book a few days after I completed it. I recommend Lisa See's work overall and I do recommend the Shanghai Girls pair of books. The historical fiction is rich, accurate (from what I can tell), and full of life.
