Ties That Bind, Ties That Break
Lensey Namioka. Laurel Leaf Library, $6.5 (160pp) ISBN 978-0-440-41599-2
A wealthy girl growing up in early 20th-century Nanjing refuses to have her feet bound, severely limiting her choices in life. In a starred review, PW said, ""With the force and intensity of a memoir, the novel chronicles a heroine who creates her own destiny through events as dramatic as they are credible, and weaves in just enough political history to help readers understand the turbulent climate."" Ages 12-up. (Nov.)
