I read this book after reading your review. I really enjoyed it but I did like Snow Flower and the Secret fan better. Thanks!

I have a copy of this, and was deciding whether to try to move it up the TBR pile, so you helped me decide. Thanks! Jeanne’s last blog post..The Mercedes Coffin

I’m so glad I found your review! I’d listened to an interview (well, only the tail end, sadly) with the author on NPR just the other day and was really tempted to get the book. Thanks for mentioning “Snow Flower and the Secret Fan.” which will also go on my ‘to be read’ list. I’ve read dozens of semihistorical novels taking place in Japan, I’m ready to move on to another culture!

I loved Snow Flower and the Secret Fan but did not like Peony in Love nearly as much. I am looking forward to reading Shanghai Girls. Thanks for the review!

I have been wanting to read this book. I am fascinated with other cultures and Asian culture is my favorite! Rebecca’s last blog post..Take Me Away Saturday

No need to enter me, but I'm glad you liked this one. I've been hesitating to pick it up because I'm not sure about the time period, but you've convinced me! S. Krishna’s last blog post..City Dog – Alison Pace

I heard Lisa See talk about this book at the LA Times Festival of Books last month, and I’m intrigued. I have SNOW FLOWER… somewhere in TBR Purgatory, but the more recent setting of SHANGHAI GIRLS actually appeals to me more.

(Is this relevant enough to enter me in the giveaway ?)
