À propos de cet audio

 In her beloved New York Times bestsellers Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, Peony in Love, and, most recently, Shanghai Girls, Lisa See has brilliantly illuminated the potent bonds of mother love, romantic love, and love of country. Now, in her most powerful novel yet, she returns to these timeless themes, continuing the story of sisters Pearl and May from Shanghai Girls, and Pearl’s strong-willed nineteen-year-old daughter, Joy.

Reeling from newly uncovered family secrets, and anger at her mother and aunt for keeping them from her, Joy runs away to Shanghai in early 1957 to find her birth father—the artist Z.G. Li, with whom both May and Pearl were once in love. Dazzled by him, and blinded by idealism and defiance, Joy throws herself into the New Society of Red China, heedless of the dangers in the communist regime.

Devastated by Joy’s flight and terrified for her safety, Pearl is determined to save her daughter, no matter the personal cost. From the crowded city to remote villages, Pearl confronts old demons and almost insurmountable challenges as she follows Joy, hoping for reconciliation. Yet even as Joy’s and Pearl’s separate journeys converge, one of the most tragic episodes in China’s history threatens their very lives.

Acclaimed for her richly drawn characters and vivid storytelling, Lisa See once again renders a family challenged by tragedy and time, yet ultimately united by the resilience of love. Fiction Fiction de genre Fiction féminine Fiction littéraire Historique Chine

Ce que les critiques en disent

“One of those hard-to-put down-until-four in-the-morning books . . . With each new novel, Lisa See gets better and better.”—Los Angeles Times

“Once again, See’s research feels impeccable, and she has created an authentic, visually arresting world.”—The Washington Post

“A stunningly researched epic about revolutionary-era China.”—Los Angeles

“See is a gifted historical novelist. She illuminates a turning point in Chinese history when people still remembered the inequities of the feudal caste system, and in some cases embodied them. . . . See is unflinching in her willingness to describe it all.”—San Francisco Chronicle

“See’s fans will be glad to read more about Pearl, May and Joy, and See’s recurring themes of unbreakable family bonds and strong-willed women.”—The Oregonian

Pearl and May are steadfast sisters and mother to Joy who withstand great hardships in their lives. A story of Chairman Mao:s China and the new revolution. But a story of love and perseverance.

Lovely conclusion to her first book.

Joy, & Pearl came to life as I listened to this book. it is an excellent follow up to Shanghai girls. I became so attached to this family I didn't want the book to end.
Through the story I learned about Chinese history in a meaningful way as i was engaged in the lives of Joy and Pearl. The settings and events are so well described , sights, sounds, smells I found myself physically reacting to the words.
Lisa See is a thoroughly engaging author.
I would highly recommend this book after reading Shanghai Girls.

I get so immersed in Lisa See's writing
