need recomendations please

[Kelli]

I'm gathering books to send to a soldier friend overseas. She likes historical fiction like :Shanghai girls, Molokai, boy in stripped pajamas, Sarah's key. Any recommendations based on those? Thanks for your help!

Titana de Rosney has a new book out called "The Other Story"

[Petra]

She may enjoy some of these:

Dreams of Joy (sequel to Shanghai Girls; has she read this yet?)
Pearl of China
Jan Wong's China: Reports From A Not-So-Foreign Correspondent (reads like fiction)
Whitethorn
The Paris Wife
The Gift of Rain
Crocodile on the Sandbank (Amelia Peabody is a hoot; she's a lot of fun)
The True Story of Hansel and Gretel

I enjoyed these. Perhaps they sound like something your friend might like?

I really liked these two: March and Caleb's Crossing by Geraldine Brooks.

She also wrote People of the Book and Year of Wonders although I haven't read them yet.

Thank you so much everyone! It's tough picking books for someone when you don't read quite the same genres... :D I really appreciate all the help and so will she when she's reading them!
