Shanghai Girls, a novel by Lisa See.

This is a used book, given to me by a friend who read it before me (I had read Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, and wanted to read more of Lisa See's books!). It came with a little bit of water damage on the last pages of the book, just at the top (see photos), but definitely still readable and doesn't prevent reading any of the material at all. Other than that, it's in good condition.

A great book to get if you've been wanting to read it, or like the author. I enjoyed reading it myself! =) Comes from a non-smoking home with no pets, so there is no need to worry about allergies of any sort.

Book Description From Amazon:

For readers of the phenomenal bestsellers Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and Peony in Love--a stunning new novel from Lisa See about two sisters who leave Shanghai to find new lives in 1930s Los Angeles.

May and Pearl, two sisters living in Shanghai in the mid-1930s, are beautiful, sophisticated, and well-educated, but their family is on the verge of bankruptcy. Hoping to improve their social standing, May and Pearl’s parents arrange for their daughters to marry “Gold Mountain men” who have come from Los Angeles to find brides.

But when the sisters leave China and arrive at Angel’s Island (the Ellis Island of the West)--where they are detained, interrogated, and humiliated for months--they feel the harsh reality of leaving home. And when May discovers she’s pregnant the situation becomes even more desperate. The sisters make a pact that no one can ever know.

A novel about two sisters, two cultures, and the struggle to find a new life in America while bound to the old, Shanghai Girls is a fresh, fascinating adventure from beloved and bestselling author Lisa See.
