Hannah asked Lisa See:

Would you ever do a book set in Imperial China? Say, a concubine in an Emperor's harem?

Lisa See Maybe.. You never know. Although I'll say this. A lot of stories have been written about concubines and life in the Forbidden City. I prefer to tell stories that have been lost, forgotten, or deliberately covered up.

Hi Lisa, I have read your two latest novels and I am fascinated by your writing and efforts put into the books. I am wondering if we, your fans, can expect another novel in the near future? Are you working on something right now, and if you are, could you give a little spoiler about what we are to expect? Thank you very much, your books opened my eyes to parts of the world I never knew existed.

Boyce asked Lisa See:

Your mother was a book reviewer for the Times. Was she what inspired you to write?

Cynthia Shannon asked Lisa See:

You have written a number of books - while I know you can't pick favorites, which was the easiest to write? Which book came most naturally, and why do you think that was?
