UU., convirti?ndose en un best seller inmediato. Lisa See, la aclamada autora de El abanico de seda, Dos chicas de Shangh?i y Sue?os de felicidad (Bruguera, 2012) ha conseguido el reconocimiento mundial por su maestr?a a la hora de retratar las intrincadas relaciones entre mujeres, siempre marcadas por el hilo invisible del destino. Pero nunca antes hab?a ahondado en la amistad de tres mujeres. Ahora nos ofrece la fascinante historia de tres chicas de muy distinto origen que, entre 1938 y 1948, luchan juntas por cumplir sus sue?os en el club m?s glamuroso de San Francisco, hasta que el ataque japon?s de Pearl Harbor, tan lejos de ellas, pone en peligro sus ambiciones, y hasta sus vidas, cuando una traici?n inesperada lo cambia todo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - "A fascinating portrait of life as a Chinese American woman in the 1930s and '40s."--The New York Times Book Review

San Francisco, 1938: A world's fair is preparing to open on Treasure Island, a war is brewing overseas, and the city is alive with possibilities. Talented Grace, traditional Helen, and defiant Ruby, three young women from very different backgrounds, meet by chance at the exclusive and glamorous Forbidden City nightclub. The girls become fast friends, relying on one another through unexpected challenges and shifting fortunes. When their dark secrets are exposed and the invisible thread of fate binds them even tighter, they find the strength and resilience to reach for their dreams. But after the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor, paranoia and suspicion threaten to destroy their lives, and a shocking act of betrayal changes everything. "Stellar . . .
