"Bookaccino Live" Book Group with Lisa See

For our first "Bookaccino Live" Book Group of 2024, Lisa See talks about her most recent book, LADY TAN'S CIRCLE OF WOMEN, with Carol Fitzgerald. She explains how she came to discover Tan Yunxian, a female physician from 15th-century China, and why she decided to write a novel based on her extraordinary life.  Two readers, Debbie and Michelle, appeared on camera to ask Lisa about her interest in ancient Chinese medicine and the role of women in it, as well as how a new book idea comes to her. Michelle learned that Lisa's mother, Carolyn See, wrote a book called MAKING A LITERARY LIFE and was curious to know if Lisa followed her mother's writing advice.  We also fielded some fabulous questions from the audience that touched on a number of additional topics, including the book's gorgeous cover and Lisa's lovely necklaces, which an eagle-eyed reader noticed she wears to all of her events. Our attendees hailed from 37 states and Canada, which we were thrilled to see!
