This sequel to Shanghai Girls was much, MUCH better! Simply sounded much more real, with characters who have to make their way in Red China during the late fifties, after living with the personal freedoms of America. Every thought, every move is scrutinized and reported upon to authorities. The slave labor of the masses and the supreme rule of Mao are well defined. But it is still a good idea to read Shanghai Girls first, for the background of the two sisters and how they came to be in America. D.
