Thank you, Lisa. How were you able to study the history of foot binding and present its archaic and painful past in 'Snow Flower and the Secret fan?" You did a very good job with presenting these demanding practices and sad history. Thank you, Julianne kavoussi

Today I'm slowly catching up to questions that I had totally missed.
To answer your question, I did a ton of research. You can read about it in the acknowledgements at the back of the book, but I also have a lot of stuff about my research on my web site. Here's a link: https://seesnowflower.wordpress.com/
And here's an article I wrote about my research: http://www.lisasee.com/books-new/snow...

Hi Lisa! Thank you for writing novels that are just lovely, and incredibly inspiring. Reading your novels has been constant encouragement that I should pursue writing my own family’s history. I come from an intricate yet beautiful Chinese family; as my grandmother's life is (sadly) coming to an end, I can't help but want to tell her story. How did you go about your research to develop your works of hist. fiction?

I just finished reading the Shanghai Girls, and Goodreads recomended me to follow your profile. I came here to follow the profile and I saw that Shanghai Girls has a second book! Thank You for such an amazing work you are doing in this world! Also a question - which one of your books is the favourite for yourself? :)
