This was a quick read, but had me on the tips of my toes. I enjoyed reading about these sisters grow/fight/teach/learn and still stay close after what one may think could be the last straw. Sweet historical story of these Shanghai beautiful sisters based in the late 30's. Two cultures-and a tragic struggle to find happiness in their new home America.
Out of a 4 star scale: ***
The Good:
Sisterly love
Women who didn't quite abide by cultural standards growing up, but learned that underneath it all- they were Shanghai Women at heart
Simple and sweet read- well written
Simple message of survival
The ending :+) I'll leave it at that
Seeing parrallels and sad truths in discrimination for all immigrant stories- quite interesting
The Bad:
Slightly predictable
-p just off the F train
