My heart feels heavy for Pearl and May, even though they're fiction. Even though they were thought up by Lisa See, I know that their life bears resemblance to hundreds of women's life's during that time period. Growing up we are taught about the colonization of China and we are thought about discrimination again various immigrants, but we were never taught what the Chinese immigrants had to go through. This book was eye opening for me, and I'm glad Lisa See through her story is able to bring to peoples attention things that have been forgotten and looked over.
I think it's definitely a must read
