Daughters Of The Sun And Moon

In *Daughters Of The Sun And Moon* by Lisa See, post–Civil War Los Angeles becomes a vivid, volatile backdrop for a richly researched work of historical fiction about survival, friendship and finding your own voice.

In 1870, three Chinese women arrive in a dusty young city on “Gold Mountain”. Dove, raised for an arranged marriage, is groomed to be obedient and admired. Petal, sold into servitude, is determined to carve out freedom by any means she can. Moon, educated and proud, carries the mark of a childhood injury that makes her an easy target in a society already turning fiercely anti-Chinese. As hostility tightens and lives collide, the women are drawn together by hardship and the choices they’re forced to make.

Perfect for readers who love strong female protagonists, immigrant stories and books set in 19th-century California.
