Hi Lisa See!! I'm just about to start Lady Tan's Circle of Women and am fascinated by how you were able to discover the protagonist's story! Is there a specific way that you like to find these characters? Or do you wait for the characters to become apparent to you through other works? Thank you so much!!

Tan Yunxian was a real person. I discovered her when I was reading a book about women's reproduction in the Ming Dynasty. Then I found her book. The more I read about her, the more intrigued I became.

Hello Ms See, I have just finished reading your two books, "Shanghai Girls" and "Dreams of Joy" and enjoyed both tremendously. They depict the changes that occurred in China from the pre-to post-revolution beautifully. I have always been interested in China having been close to Pearl Buck who was the first American writer to write about that country. I'd love to know what you think of her books? Eva F.
