General Analysis
ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
Lisa See's novel, Shanghai Girls, tells the story of two sisters, Pearl and May, from Shanghai who become picture brides in America in 1937. The narrative follows their journey from the vibrant life of Shanghai to the constraints of Los Angeles Chinatown, where they navigate arranged marriages, cultural clashes, and the weight of family secrets. As they adapt to their new environment, the sisters confront issues of identity, belonging, and the enduring power of their bond against a backdrop of significant historical events. The book explores the challenges of immigration and the complexities of building a new life in a foreign land.
