SHANGHAIGIRLS
Shanghai Girls
Shanghai Girls is a 2009 novel by Lisa See. In an important sense, it returns to the beginning of her major writing career. After publishing three murder mysteries largely set in China and then following them up with two in-depth studies of the struggles of Chinese women in the 19th and 17th centuries respectively, See now returns to many of the themes she emphasized in her first major work, On Gold Mountain. The 1937-57 time frame of the novel matches Parts IV and V of the memoir. The museum exhibit that See developed based on On Gold Mountain also provides relevant context for the new novel.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Shanghai Girls
