...call Lisa See a versatile writer would be to understate the case. She's best known for Snow Flower and the Secret Fan (2005) and Peony in Love (2007), best-selling novels set in China's past. But her debut work, On Gold Mountain: The One-Hundred-Year Odyssey of My Chinese-American Family, was a nonfiction account of Chinese immigrants to America, and she has written a trio of mysteries set in contemporary China. Now, with Shanghai Girls, she has produced an engrossing tale of two sisters (who become sisters-in-law, too, by marrying brothers) that has links...

...compact with California plastic surgeons altered his face nearly beyond recognition. His cocoa skin was gradually blanched into a geisha's pancake white - the result, doctors said, of the pigment-depleting disease vitiligo. Except when camouflaged by makeup in videos - he even wore it to bed, said ex-wife Lisa Marie - or cavorting as a speck onstage in giant arenas, he retreated to his palatial Neverland estate near Santa Barbara, Calif., and became the world's most reclusive exhibitionist...
