Milwaukee Public Library and Boswell Book Company welcome bestselling author Lisa See for a fascinating evening to discuss her newest novel, Daughters of the Sun and Moon.

Milwaukee Public Library and Boswell Book Company welcome New York Times bestselling author Lisa See for a fascinating evening to discuss her newest novel, Daughters of the Sun and Moon. In this latest book, See draws on the vibrancy and turmoil of post-Civil War Los Angeles to tell the story of three Chinese women who managed to survive and, eventually, thrive, despite all odds.

Lisa See is the New York Times bestselling author of Lady Tan’s Circle of Women, The Island of Sea Women, The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, Peony in Love, Shanghai Girls, China Dolls, and Dreams of Joy, which debuted at #1. She is also the author of On Gold Mountain, which tells the story of her Chinese American family’s settlement in Los Angeles. See was the recipient of the Golden Spike Award from the Chinese Historical Association of Southern California and the Historymaker’s Award from the Chinese American Museum. She was also named National Woman of the Year by the Organization of Chinese American Women.

In partnership with Boswell Book Company, who will be present for book signing and sales.
