From the cover: When she was a girl, Lisa See spent summers in her family's antique store in Chinatown. There, her grandmother and great-aunt told her intriguing, colorful stories of her family's past.
As an adult, Lisa spent five years collecting her family's stories. The result is a vivid, sweeping family portrait that is at once particular and universal, telling the story not only of one family, but of the Chinese people in America.
I found this book both interesting and fascinating. I loved reading and learning about the Chinese culture.
