Lisa asked Lisa See:

Good Spring morning to you from Maine! I just wanted to tell you how incredible your book, TIOSW is!!! I am on page 250, and already want to re-read it. It's a hard read at times, but so very important. I had no idea what these people went through. Was it heartbreaking doing the research? THANK YOU for your work, and this story. Hugs from Maine.

Lisa See Wow! Thank you so much for your beautiful words. Yes, it was very hard to write, especially the scene of the massacre at Bukchon. That hurt my heart to write.

Dizzy asked Lisa See:

My new daughter-in-law is from Indonesia. Her parents are Indonesian and Chinese. She has told us about "coining" and in her case it has permanently scarred her back. I'm curious if you have ever written about it? Also wondering if you have written any books that includes any history of the migration of Chinese to Indonesia?

I just finished Snow Flower and the Secret Fan for the second time. What a wonderful book! Thank you for adding to my understanding of a culture that is so very different from mine. How did you find all this historic information?
