I wish I had read Shanghai Girls before reading Dreams of Joy; however, I had read two of Lisa See's novels prior to this one and thought they were very well written. Apparently this is the sequel to Shanghai Girls, and I enjoyed it regardless of not knowing the background encompassed in Shanghai Girls. It is a remarkable journey into China, its history and culture through two different perspectives. I hope to read Shanghai Girls and see this book through that added perspective. Lisa See's research is as noteworthy as her writing.
