Maybe because Ah-Mei is the only girl grandchild, or maybe because the pair look so alike – and because neither look much like the rest of their Chinese family. Politics and war make 1960s Shanghai a hard place to grow up, especially when racism and bigotry are rife, and everyone is suspicious of Nainai’s European heritage. Ah-Mei and her family suffer much in this time of political upheaval, and when the family silk business falters, they are left with almost nothing. But Ah-Mei and her grandmother are resourceful, and they have one another – and the tenderness they share brings them great strength.","brand":"Walker Books","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42824767373392,"sku":"9781406378252B","price":5.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9781406378252-l.jpg?v=1785897974","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/fr\/products\/dragonfly-eyes-9781406378252b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
