Daughters of the Sun and Moon - Lisa See

Hebrew Book Edition

Daughters of the Sun and Moon is a Hebrew novel by Lisa See, author of many bestsellers, including Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, Shanghai Girls, and Lady Tan's Circle of Women, all published in Hebrew by Modan.

The year is 1870. Los Angeles is a small, dusty, and violent town. Three Chinese women, sent there under very different circumstances, meet, and their fates become intertwined. Yut Ho, beautiful and innocent, with bound feet, arrives in Los Angeles for an arranged marriage to a wealthy merchant many years her senior. Petal, a farmer's daughter who grew up hungry, is sold and sent to the same American city, where she is sold again. Moon, married and living in America for a year already, is beautiful, educated, and speaks English, but a failed foot binding in childhood left her with a limp, lowering her worth in the eyes of many.

Yut Ho dreams of loving and being loved, Petal longs for freedom, and Moon searches for justice, but their lives are far from any of these dreams. Facing a sexist and racist society, and after events spiral into something horrifying, the three women have no choice but to draw on all their strength to rebuild, find their voices, and dare, together, to create the lives they always dreamed of.
