Natalie asked Lisa See:

Dear Lisa, We just finished listening to The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane. We really loved it. Can you please clarify what you are working on now? Natalie

Lisa See Natalie,

As I've been writing to others on Goodreads today, I'm only just seeing these questions from months ago.

The new novel is actually done. THE ISLAND OF SEA WOMEN will come out on March 19, 2019. It's about the friendship between two haenyeo -- women free-divers -- on the island of Jeju off the tip of South Korea. You can learn more about it by taking a look at the page on Amazon, and in a few weeks I'll have a bunch of stuff about it up on my web site.

Have you ever thought about writing anything further on the emperor's concubine mentioned in Snow Flower and the Secret Fan? Her story on her creation of nu shu was sad but captivating. I'd love to read more....

Charlotte

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.?

Donna

Donna asked Lisa See:

Snow Flower and the Secret Fan was my very favorite of your novels. It was also the first one I read. My neighbor, who is Chinese American gave it to me and it opened up wonderful stories of his mother in China who refused to have her feet wrapped. You may history very approachable. Do you do most of your research online or do you travel to China and visit libraries and museums?
