Dreams of Joy submitted by Amy Kuras on July 18, 2021, 9:29pm This book by Lisa See is a well written fictional account of one woman’s quest to find her roots in China during the Communist regime. It is at its core a story about relationships, and is both depressing and uplifting. I am enjoying it and learning a great deal about life in China during the Cultural Revolution. Recommended!
