The first book is called "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" by Lisa See. I enjoyed this book very much. When I read I like to read about different cultures, history, and mostly I read to be transported. I felt this book was well written and reminded me a lot of "The Good Earth". I actually had seen this book before but avoided it because the name sort of turned me off, but, Faeth recommended it to me and I trust her recommendations and read it. I would recommend this book as well.
Faeth also recommended this book 'Shanghai Girls' by Lisa See as well. It is actually Faeth's book that I read and still have at my house (sorry!). I enjoyed this book but not as much as Snow Flower. It was still a good book and I would recommend it.
After reading and enjoying two other books by Lisa See, I started reading another book that she wrote called 'Peony in Love'. I am really just having a hard time reading this book. I have not finished it and may not unless I force myself to do it just because I already have invested time into it! So, as of now, I would not recommend this book.
Go ahead and look these books up on amazon and read a summary and possibly even read them for yourself!
