Summary: Incredible Book
Comment: I am a new fan of Lisa See and I have to say that this is one of the best books I have ever read.
It is a fascinating story. There were times I had to remind myself that this was a work of
non-fiction. I only wish there were more photographs. A great read and hard to put down.

Customer Rating:

Summary: generational story
Comment: I like Lisa See's books and this is another example of her fine writing. This time, however, her
focus is the story of her own family and their impact on their new country.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Engaging and educational...
Comment: Lisa See is one of those rare authors that can draw you into and keep you engaged in a story weaved
with historial significance as well as personal emotions. A must read for any first or second
generation immigrant who has always been curious about the lives and struggles of our ancestors who
first settled into this new "free" land called America.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Fascinating
Comment: This is a most interesting book. I am 75 years old and grew up in Los Angeles, visiting Chinatown
many times, and knew nothing of the people who lived there, so it was particularly interesting to
me. I have read other books by Lisa See and find her to be an excellent writer. I highly recommend
this book, especially to people interested in the history of California.
