'I will find my daughter. No matter the cost...'
Jasmine Yang thought her daughter was dead at birth. But five years after she was taken from her arms, she learns that her controlling husband sent the baby to America to be adopted, a casualty of China's one-child-policy. Fleeing her rural Chinese village, Jasmine arrives in New York City with nothing except a desperate need to find her daughter. But with her husband on her trail, the clock is ticking, and she's forced to make increasingly risky decisions if she ever hopes to be reunited with her child.
Meanwhile, Rebecca Whitney seems to have it all: a high-powered career, a beautiful home, a handsome husband and an adopted Chinese daughter she adores. But when an industry scandal threatens to jeopardise not only Rebecca's job but her marriage, this perfect world begins to crumble.
Two women in a divided city, separated by wealth and culture, yet bound together by their love for the same child. And when they finally meet, their lives will never be the same again...
Wow!! What a book!
I have just finished this book and I could not read it quick enough! I found that I was quickly engrossed with Jasmine & Rebecca's lives and the story that they were sharing with us.
This was just brilliantly written, the way the stories intertwined was fantastic and particularly Jasmine's story was just so touching in parts. I felt so emotional when we discovered the meaning behind 'The Leftover Woman'. I loved how the storyline unfolded and I had a huge OMG moment that I had just not even had an inkling that it was going to appear.
I almost feel a little bit speechless trying to explain how the book was / made me feel as it honestly was just so brilliant. I literally could not put this book down - I feel that it is a very special book and one that will stay with me for a while.
This is the first of Jean Kwok's books that I have read - and if that are all of this caliber then I am looking forward to reading more. You can grab a copy of this one here #Aff
