Lisa See on A Novel Idea
   Lisa See, author of Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and Peony in Love, has recently published a new novel,  Shanghai Girls. It’s a tale of two sisters, set in Los Angeles’ Chinatown, after Pearl and May leave Shanghai in 1937 for arranged marriages in the United States. The author describes her book as “a story of immigration, identity, war and love, but at its heart, a story of sisters.”
   Lisa See is a particular favorite of California audiences, and Rosemary Manchester, host for A Novel Idea, is delighted to have the opportunity to interview her, and give KRCB listeners an opportunity to hear the writer discuss her work.
