Lisa See Guest Author at Maryville Talks Books
By Chris Stuckenschneider, Missourian Book Editor
The Missourian
We've all got them-favorite books-tales that stay in our heads
and our hearts. I've got a shelf full. Tops on my list is "Snow
Flower and the Secret Fan," Lisa See's novel about two Chinese
sisters first published in 2005.
Several books and years later, See remains a popular and prolific
author, and her affecting Chinese characters Pearl, May and Joy
almost seem like family to many of us.
Area readers will have the opportunity to meet See when she comes
to St. Louis on Monday, March 12th, at 7 p.m. for Maryville Talks
Books, a free literary event held at Maryville University's
Auditorium. No reservations required-it's first come, first serve
for the best seats.
See will be promoting "Dreams of Joy" which pubbed in paperback on
Feb. 7th. The novel takes up where her earlier book "Shanghai
Girls," left off, so readers can expect to be united with Pearl and
May-and Pearl's headstrong daughter Joy, now grown and determined
to return to Communist China to find her father.
It's a joyous reunion and makes for a really good read.
