This is book 2 of a duo. I just finished the first and moved right into this one, which gave me a 60-year span in the life of Pei. After the Japanese begin occupying parts of China, she flees to Hong Kong. Life there is calmer and she finds some happiness until the Japanese reach the island. I like seeing how the author follows threads across both stories.
