In her beloved New York Times bestsellers Daughters of the Sun and Moon, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane, Island of Sea Women, Peony in Love, Shanghai Girls, and China Dolls, Lisa See has brilliantly illuminated the strong bonds between women. These books have been celebrated for their authentic, deeply researched, lyrical stories about Chinese characters and cultures. Ms. See’s new novel, Daughters of the Sun and Moon, which was an Instant New York Times Bestseller, is inspired by the three real Chinese women who arrived in Los Angeles in 1870. Each woman has her own desires. Dove wants to love and be loved, Petal desires freedom, and Moon seeks justice. Together they face a larger society that wishes them not one ounce of goodwill. Brought together by hardship and heartbreak, they must use their bravery, endurance, and ability to “eat bitterness” to discover their voices, find freedom, and connect through solace and friendship. Booklist said of the book “See excels at the ‘wordless communion of women,’ portraying three disparate personalities drawing strength from and helping each other survive,” while Shelf Awareness wrote “Poignant and fascinating, Daughters of the Sun and Moon is a heart-pounding frontier narrative and a tender tribute to female friendship.” Ms. See has led an active and varied career. She wrote the libretto for Los Angeles Opera based on On Gold Mountain. She has served as guest curator for exhibits on the Chinese-American experience at the Autry Museum of Western Heritage and curated the inaugural exhibition at the Chinese American Museum in Los Angeles. Ms. See was honored as National Woman of the Year by the Organization of Chinese American Women in 2001, was the recipient of the Chinese American Museum’s History Makers Award in 2003, and received the Golden Spike Award from the Chinese Historical Society of Southern California in 2017. She sits on the boards of Los Angeles Opera, the 1871 Chinese Massacre Foundation, and the Trusteeship—an organization comprised of preeminent women of achievement and influence in diverse fields.
