Description
Una de las autoras más importantes de corte femenino a nivel mundial vuelve con este particular homenaje a la amistad de tres mujeres que ha sido avalado, de forma unánime, por la crítica especializada de EE. UU., convirtiéndose en un best seller inmediato. Lisa See, la aclamada autora de El abanico de seda, Dos chicas de Shanghái y Sueños de felicidad (Bruguera, 2012) ha conseguido el reconocimiento mundial por su maestría a la hora de retratar las intrincadas relaciones entre mujeres, siempre marcadas por el hilo invisible del destino. Pero nunca antes había 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 sueños en el club más glamuroso de San Francisco, hasta que el ataque japonés de Pearl Harbor, tan lejos de ellas, pone en peligro sus ambiciones, y hasta sus vidas, cuando una traición inesperada lo cambia todo.

"Superb . . . This emotional, informative and brilliant page-turner resonates with resilience and humanity."--The Washington Post (One of the Best Books of the Year)
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.
