About this product
Product Information
From the bestselling author of The Island of Sea Women , here is the true story of the one-hundred-year-odyssey of the author's Chinese-American family, combining years of research with "fascinating family anecdotes, imaginative details, and the historical details of immigrant life" (Amy Tan, bestselling author of The Joy Luck Club ). "As engagingly readable as any novel." -- Los Angeles Times Book Review In 1867, Lisa See's great-great-grandfather arrived in America, where he prescribed herbal remedies to immigrant laborers who were treated little better than slaves. His son Fong See later built a mercantile empire and married a Caucasian woman, in spite of laws prohibiting interracial marriage. Lisa herself grew up playing in her family's antiques store in Los Angeles's Chinatown, listening to stories of missionaries and prostitutes, movie stars and Chinese baseball teams. See's family history encompasses secret marriages, entrepreneurial genius, romance, racism, and much more, as two distinctly different cultures meet in a new world in this "lovingly rendered...vivid tableau of a family and an era" ( People ).
