A while ago I posted a book review on Shanghai Girl's, written by Lisa See, one of my favorite authors. This post however really isn't about the book, but about a wonderful and most thoughtful gift from a friend...
...this past week we met for lunch, because of prior involvements and the intervening holidays it took us a while to get together. She had mentioned earlier that she had something to give me.
...and what she had turned out to be very special and very thoughtful. She had been able to attend one of Lisa See's book signings. Before she went, she downloaded a hard copy of my post, took it with her to the event, and had it signed for me.
Such a thoughtful gift, from a special friend. Thank you Fran.
As I said before this really isn't a book review, but I highly recommend this book and the sequel: Dreams of Joy, which I just finished reading ~ they are both wonderful!
Thank you for visiting, I hope you have an unexpected gift in your day.
What a special friend.

A very thoughtful gift, Adrienne! How special to have that from a favorite author. Shanghai during the 20s and 30s was fascinating. I'll definitely look into the books.
