Shanghai girls. Лиза Си394 руб
May and Pearl, two sisters living in Shanghai in the mid-1930s, are beautiful, sophisticated, and well-educated, but their family is on the verge of bankruptcy. A novel about two sisters who leave Shanghai to find new lives in 1930s Los Angeles. But when the sisters leave China and arrive at Angel’s Island (the Ellis Island of the West)—where they are detained, interrogated, and humiliated for months—they feel the harsh reality of leaving home. Hoping to improve their social standing, May and Pearl’s parents arrange for their daughters to marry “Gold Mountain men” who have come from Los Angeles to find brides. The sisters make a pact that no one can ever know. And when May discovers she’s pregnant the situation becomes even more desperate. 2010 |
