Two Events with

LISA SEE

          

We welcome back bestselling author Lisa See, a frequent visitor to the store over the years. She'll be talking about her new novel, China Dolls, at a luncheon downtown on June 23

at The Union League Club and in Winnetka at the Women's Exchange the next evening, June 24. The book has been widely praised, as in this starred review in Publishers Weekly: "In the beginning of See's stellar ninth book, three young women, Grace, Helen, and Ruby, meet and form an unlikely but strong bond in San Francisco in 1938. . . . The story alternates between their viewpoints, with each woman's voice strong and dynamic, developing a multilayered richness as it progresses. The depth of See's characters and her winning prose make this book a wonderful journey through love and loss."

 

Ms. See's fans remember her many bestsellers, including Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, Peony in Love, and Shanghai Girls. To read more about her and her books, click here to visit her website and here for her Random House page.
