Lisa See's Snow Flower and the Secret Fan
I enjoyed Shanghai Girls enough to see out Snow Flower, which has been a popular book group book for ages. It's about two little girls in 1800s China who are contracted to be lifelong friends. It starts off strong and See's details are great--especially in the footbinding scenes--but gets pretty boring and lame 3/4 of the way in, despite burgeoning revolution. B.
