China Dolls is a 2014 novel by Lisa See. It depicts the largely forgotten world of Chinese American nightclubs and performers of the '30s and '40s. The book opens with a quotation attributed to Buddha: “Only three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.” See organizes her narrative around these three elements – The Sun (October 1938 – August 1940; The Moon (August 1940 – September 1945); and The Truth (December 1945-June 1948). The novel briefly concludes with a reunion of many of the main characters in 1988. The novel debuted at #10 on the New York Times best seller list of hardcover fiction. It led the San Francisco Chronicle's list of recommended new books June 15, 2014.

first time read Lisa See's work. I read/heard/saw the happiness/sorrow/pain/struggle of asian americians, but the story sounds unreal.

评分

读的第一本Lisa See的书,和其他在美华裔作家作品的人物背景类似,不过这本书主要时间线在二战前后,讲述中国夜总会在美国的故事,很多都基于真实事件改编。充满了stereotype, 也让人了解到从前不知道的在美华裔的真实生活。从文字角度来说,作者将细节描述的惟妙惟肖,人物的妆容造型舞步歌词,非常细致。里面有很多英语英译的汉语,让人不太理解,也可能是粤语或者是其他方言的音译。

1/5弃。Lisa See的书也就那两本好看,其他的都挺一般的。这一点上跟东野圭吾很像。如果能够更强调【二战大背景】和美国三四十年代【排华】这两个大背景的话可能会好很多。但是这本书沉醉于什么毫无逻辑的姐妹撕逼/情深,真的很无趣。2.5星。

作者笔力真是差,角色关系反复无常又没有什么合理解释...强行植入她理解的中日传统文化和乱用的英译成语让人无限呵呵
