Dreams of Joy by Lisa See
3.0

A good sequel to Shanghai Girls and the author does a great job painting the imagery with word, depicting struggle and emotions, and the cultural differences and societal changes that were occurring in China during this time. The only thing that I didn't care for was that the story was slow for the first 3/4 of the book and then picks up at the end.
