Summary (from the inside flap of the book): Readers of Women of the Silk never forgot the moving story of Pei, brought to work in the silk house as a young girl. Now we learn what happened to Pei as she arrives in 1930s Hong Kong with a young orphan, Ji Shen, in her care. Soon Pei and Ji Shen find a new life in the home of Mrs. Finch, a British expatriate. But war, and the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, tear everything apart, and Pei is once again forced to make her own way, struggling to survive and to keep her extended family alive. Review: I love all of Gail Tsukiyama's books that I've read! Women of the Silk, the book that comes before The Language of Threads, is a lyrical read. Tsukiyama's The Samurai's Garden is a beautifully crafted gem.
