Lisa Crump asked Lisa See:

Ms. See. Did you grow up in America and/or both countries determining that China's history needed to be told? Snow Flower and the Secret Fan is my favorite. The fan being a source for sending messages was fascinating to me. War and strife are inevitable topics. I love that we learn the hidden stories in your books. You are in my top 10 authors. Please continue your great writing! Thank you. Lisa Crump

Lisa See I clearly don't know how to use Goodreads, because I keep finding new places where people ask me questions. I just found yours!

I grew up here in the U.S. I spent a lot of time with the Chinese side of my family in Los Angeles Chinatown. I also go to China to do research.

Thank you so much for your kind words about my writing!

Hi Lisa See!! I'm just about to start Lady Tan's Circle of Women and am fascinated by how you were able to discover the protagonist's story! Is there a specific way that you like to find these characters? Or do you wait for the characters to become apparent to you through other works? Thank you so much!!

A Goodreads user asked Lisa See:

Hi Lisa! I have a pretty lengthy question and it exceeds the character limit on here.. I can try to shorten it but I was wondering if I could send it to you through message, could you still get it and answer it? Or would you prefer for me to shorten it and just post it through this way (: Thank you!

Maddy Ali asked Lisa See:

I want a sequel to THe Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane, will you be writing one? I discovered you through Shanghai Girls when I was in High School and when I was in university I came across The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane.
