Item Description...

Overview
Traces the rivalry between two Chinese sisters, a doctor and a writer, whose lives took very different paths in their respective quests to become independent women, from Lin Shuhao's medical studies in America during the anti-Asian hostilities of the 1920s to Shuhua's rise within the Beijing literary scene.

A Thousand Miles of Dreams  Apr 17, 2009
Deeply disappointed. The story is relatively flat and unenticing. I did not even want to finish the book.
 
An Amazing Story  Sep 28, 2007
Amy was my Grandmother and I learned so much about my family history from Sasha's book. I loved the exploration of the truth between the stories that we heard growing up and Sasha's extensive research on the reality of the stories. I loved Sasha's book and consider it an important part of my roots.
 
Exceptional  Apr 8, 2007
Professor Welland proves that extensive research and good storytelling are not mutually exclusive, which does not hold true for many of the academic books I have read. This book is unmistakably academic, with Welland adding a scholarly and critical perspective to the events she describes, but that is certainly not a bad thing. Layered with incredible detail, her graceful writing style made the stories of both her ancestors, and the search to reconcile their differences, extremely engaging. Certainly a worthwhile read for anyone interested in Chinese history.
