The first books that come to mind are the wonderful books by Lisa See, starting with Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, followed by Peony in Love, and finally Shanghai Girls. The first is my favorite, anthough there is a very difficult to read chapter on foot binding. Of these three, I liked Shanghai Girls the least, but still, they are all worth the read.
Wonderful historical fiction set in China. Lisa See is a master. Of all the books I've read in the past few years, these have really stuck with me.
