After reading "Peony in Love" by Lisa See, I became enthralled with Chinese culture, history & philosophy (the book cover happened to be absolutely beautiful as well). A friend kindly lent me this fairly new release by the same author, and I was whisked away to early 20th century China.
Shanghai Girls is fantastic at portraying the lives of 2 Chinese woman who metamorphisize from indulged, elitist youths to independent, and self-sufficient adults. It is incredibly raw, and graphic in areas, but one can only expect realism in this portrayal of survival and discrimination.
Here is a review!
