Opis

Shanghai, 1937. Pearl and May are two sisters from a bourgeois family. Both are beautiful, modern and living a carefree life, until the day their father tells them that he has gambled away the family's wealth, and that in order to repay his debts he must sell the girls as wives to two 'Gold Mountain' men: Americans.

Recenzje

'Part love story, part family saga, part historical fiction, this vividly descriptive book is above all an exploration of the trials and triumphs, the rivalries and delights of sisterhood' Daily Mail
