Dreams of Joy by Lisa See
4.0

After being somewhat disappointed with Shanghai Girls (mainly due to the fact that the book had an abrupt ending and was set up for this sequel), this book picks up right where it leaves off and explains what happened.
It's a good read and gives an insight into the Mao Dynasty and the "Great Leap Forward". I still feel that it was left unfinished, with a big step of their journey left out. I guess it's implied that everything works out.
