Eva asked Lisa See:

Hello Ms See, I have just finished reading your two books, "Shanghai Girls" and "Dreams of Joy" and enjoyed both tremendously. They depict the changes that occurred in China from the pre-to post-revolution beautifully. I have always been interested in China having been close to Pearl Buck who was the first American writer to write about that country. I'd love to know what you think of her books? Eva F.

Lisa See Dear Eva,

First let me apologize for taking EIGHT MONTHS to write back. For some reason, Goodreads wasn't forwarding questions. Anyway, here I am now.

I've actually only read one Pearl Buck book, and that was The Good Earth. It's a classic by any measure. Do you have a favorite?

Thank you, Lisa. How were you able to study the history of foot binding and present its archaic and painful past in 'Snow Flower and the Secret fan?" You did a very good job with presenting these demanding practices and sad history. Thank you, Julianne kavoussi
