Tobyo asked Lisa See:

Can you explain the meaning of the AP review on the back of a hardcover of Lady Tan' Circle of Women that I read? "takes readers on a journey spanning generations, in this case 1938 to 2008". I could not find a reference to these years and this novel takes place in the 15th century. I loved this story! Thank you.

Lisa See That's because those quotes are all for THE ISLAND OF SEA WOMEN. I just had to check, and it says that at the top of the jacket.
