[CALIBK12] Target: HS Fiction Book - Asian Women by Asian Woman Writer

[Marie Slim]

Hi again!

I'm now looking for an adult/mature young adult/teen book that features strong Asian women and is authored by a female Asian writer.  This teacher has used The Good Earth and The Joy Luck Club (and other Amy Tan novels) before.  

I suggested Thousand Splendid Sons (written by a man), Habibi and Homeless Bird, but she'd like more suggestions.  She'd also prefer it to be published in paperback.

Thanks,
