Charlotte asked Lisa See:

Thank you so much for this story, in my opinion, your masterpiece thus far. Your characters through their Chinese story told the mother-daughter story in a new, rich, multi-perspective way. I felt their joy, anger, fear and longing. I was forced to take moments to consider me through my daughters' eyes.?

Lisa See Greetings, Charlotte,

I'm so sorry that it's taken me two months to respond to your note. Things have been pretty crazy around here and I, quite frankly, forgot about Goodreads for a bit. Here I am today, though!

Thank you so much for your very kind words about The Tea Girl. Wow!!! I'm humbled.

Dear Lisa See, "The Island of Sea Women" is such a phenomenal book. Instantly after I finished, I messaged my friend to tell her I loved her. Were you inspired by your own friendships when writing about Young-sook and Mi-ja? Thankyou!

Hi Lisa, You are one of my favorite authors! I am hosting book club on November 6th and will be leading a discussion on 'The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane'. Any chance we could ask you a question 'live' via a phone call or FaceTime? :) It's a 'big ask' for sure, but definitely would be appreciated by all of us attending! Even if you're not available, you're still one of my favorites. Jenny Alpharetta, GA
