I just finished all of your historical novels I am so intrigued with the Chinese culture and how much you've taught me through your books! When will the next book be?
Lisa See
THE ISLAND OF SEA WOMEN will come out on March 19, 2019. It's still a ways off, but in some ways it's right around the corner.
Thank you for your kind words about my books!

Hi Lisa! I am loving #HistoricalFictionWeek here on Goodreads. I'm a rookie historical fiction author (two books) and I have long admired your work and career. What advice do you have for writers who are just beginning to shape their careers and hope to continue writing books for a long time?

Hello Ma'am, I've just finished 'The island of sea women' and totally loved it. Characters felt so real! However, there is one question. Please help me get it's answer- Why did Mi-Ja told Young Sook that she could save only one of her children? Why does she ask her to decide on one child instead of denying to take any of them with her?

I'm a great fan of your work, particularly Snow Flower and the Secret Fan. I would love to know what is your starting point for a novel? Do you begin with research and then develop the plot, or does the story idea come first? You seem to have the perfect blend of a great story backed up with thorough knowledge, I'm trying to write a historical novel myself and would be grateful for any tips!
