I finished a book that wasn't for my book club!

Deb just finished reading Shanghai Girls by Lisa See. In the tradition of her bestseller and soon-to-be-movie book Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, this one gives readers a taste of depression-era life in America for Chinese immigrants in the 1930s and 40s. As Pearl tries to be American and maintain her Chinese heritage at the same time, she comes to care for an adopted family, worries about her modern American daughter, and learns hard lessons about family and love.
This book was a fantastic, quick read - highly recommended!
