San Francisco, 1938: A world’s fair is preparing to open on Treasure Island, a war is brewing overseas, and the city is alive with possibilities. Talented Grace, traditional Helen, and defiant Ruby, three young women from very different backgrounds, meet by chance at the exclusive and glamorous Forbidden City nightclub. The girls become fast friends, relying on one another through unexpected challenges and shifting fortunes. When their dark secrets are exposed and the invisible thread of fate binds them even tighter, they find the strength and resilience to reach for their dreams. But after the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor, paranoia and suspicion threaten to destroy their lives, and a shocking act of betrayal changes everything.

A great read. The different perspectives was awesome, and I very much enjoyed this novel.

China dolls. Not very good for me.

Great book!. The characters were so real and written well. Again I must say Lisa See does an amazing job at describing the scene yet keep it moving. I hate it when authors spend endless pages on descriptions. However See balances it out very well. It was a good read that I finished in a mater of days. Even with a busy schedule. I recommend this to anyone into Chinese American drama, people, and culture.

Garbage. After reading the secret fan, I thought this book would also be well written, informative and enjoyable. This book is something a high school girl would write or read. Unbelievably Unbelievable. Total waste of time.

Standing ovation to the author!. I loved it from beginning to end. This beautifully written historical fiction kept me glued from page to page.

China Dolls. Amazing book. I couldn't put it down. Lisa See is a great writer and this is one of my favorites! A real page turner.
