Book Reviews of A Thousand Miles of Dreams: The Journeys of Two Chinese Sisters
Book Review: An Amazing Story
Summary: 5 Stars
Amy was my Grandmother and I learned so much about my family history from Sasha's book. I loved the exploration of the truth between the stories that we heard growing up and Sasha's extensive research on the reality of the stories. I loved Sasha's book and consider it an important part of my roots.
Summary of A Thousand Miles of Dreams: The Journeys of Two Chinese Sisters
A Thousand Miles of Dreams is the fascinating biography of two intensely rivalrous Chinese sisters whose eventful lives took very different paths in their quest to be independent women. They were Chinese modern girls who sought to forge their own way during a period of social revolution that unsettled relations between men and women, even among nations. Daughters of an imperial scholar-official and a concubine, the two sisters followed professional trajectories unimaginable to their parents' generation.Chinese Books
