Daughters of the Sun and Moon by Lisa See. Some readers may remember her wonderful book The Island of Sea Women a few years ago which was simply outstanding - she writes terrific historical fiction. This new one is set in1870 when three Chinese women arrive separately in the tiny settlement of Los Angeles where they build new lives amidst racism and hardship. Dove, Petal and Moon navigate heartbreak, homesickness and friendship in a fascinating insight into that era, supported by photos and extensive research.
Rule of Lies by Jamison T.Firestone. Extraordinary nonfiction. This young American lawyer moved to the Soviet Union just as it was starting to unravel, where he was able to make the most of the newly arrived capitalism sweeping through Russia. The trouble was, so too did many of those coming out of the former USSR, with state sponsored corruption, theft and sabotage happening on an industrial scale. This is a jaw dropping account about a truly unbelievable time – just wait til you read about the IKEA scam. Fans of Bill Browder’s books will love it.
