In her beloved New York Times bestsellers Snow Flower and the Secret Fan , Peony in Love , and, most recently, Shanghai Girls , Lisa See has brilliantly illuminated the potent bonds of mother love, romantic love, and love of country. Now, in her most powerful novel yet, she returns to these timeless themes, continuing the story of sisters Pearl and May from Shanghai Girls , and Pearl’s strong-willed nineteen-year-old daughter, Joy.
Reeling from newly uncovered family secrets, and anger at her mother and aunt for keeping them from her, Joy runs away to Shanghai in early 1957 to find her birth father—the artist Z.G. Li, with whom both May and Pearl were once in love. Dazzled by him, and blinded by idealism and defiance, Joy throws herself into the New Society of Red China, heedless of the dangers in the communist regime.
Devastated by Joy’s flight and terrified for her safety, Pearl is determined to save her daughter, no matter the personal cost. From the crowded city to remote villages, Pearl confronts old demons and almost insurmountable challenges as she follows Joy, hoping for reconciliation. Yet even as Joy’s and Pearl’s separate journeys converge, one of the most tragic episodes in China’s history threatens their very lives.
Acclaimed for her richly drawn characters and vivid storytelling, Lisa See once again renders a family challenged by tragedy and time, yet ultimately united by the resilience of love.
Hey I actually read Book 1 - Shanghai Girls in 2017 and I didn’t realise it until I starting reading. It’s definitely an fun experience coz you’ve known all characters 2 years back, and I guess that’s part of enjoyment in reading serials. Regarding the historical fact itself, it’s ok to keep your skepticism about Mao's Great Famine.

評分三年飢荒真的死瞭這麼多人嗎?
評分#Communist China in 1950s#這本書偏嚮於講大傢庭裏各種人物關係之間的糾葛,和Shanghai Girls組閤起來纔能把人物時間綫給連接起來...好在結局給如坐針氈的讀者一個好交代
