Daughters of the Sun and Moon

Item Description

By Lisa See
Historical Fiction

In 1870, three Chinese women arrive in the small, dusty and violent City of Los Angeles. Dove, the bound-footed daughter of an imperial scholar, poised to start an arranged marriage to a much older merchant. Petal, the big-footed daughter of peasants, after being sold into servitude by her parents. And Moon, married to a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, is educated and beautiful, yet her failed footbinding has left her with a limp. Together they face a ruthless society, devoid of goodwill and increasingly hostile to all three women and brought together by hardship and heartbreak.
