Shanghai Girls
by Lisa See
I just picked this book up at the library last night. I have never read anything by Lisa See, but have seen good reviews for this book. The synopsis sounds interesting and I am always happy to find a good historical fiction. I am looking forward to reading it!

Hmmm. Dad needs to lighten up. Hope you enjoy.
Thanks for stopping by mine!
I haven't read this author, either, but I've seen her books around...sounds good.
Thanks for visiting my blog.
I haven't read it, but I've heard it's good! Happy reading!
This book has been on my radar for a while -- I've read and enjoyed See's Snow Flower and the Secret Fan.
Dad seems tough :)
Great teaser
Thanks for stopping by my BBF :)
Haven't read Shanghai Girls yet but I loved her other two books.
Great opening line - The reader immediately feels sympathy for the narrator.
I have heard many good things about this book too and I hope that you enjoy it. I don't think that the opener is particularly strong to be honest, but I am sure that it is still a great book
