I've read all of Lisa See's other novels, and I have to say this is the one I enjoyed the least. It has a very slow beginning and I struggled to get through the first 100 pages or so. (I only stuck with it because I liked Shanghai Girls so much and wanted to find out what happened to these characters.) Further along, the plot got interesting and I actually enjoyed the remainder of the book. I do not recommend this book to anyone who hasn't really read Shanghai Girls.
