Shanghai Girls by Lisa See

She is such an awesome author.  This is a Chinese historical fiction and I could not put it down.  It follows two sisters from well to do Shanghai across the ocean to San Francisco and all of the trials and tribulations they encounter.  They forever remain the best of friends but are tested over the years.  What they sacrificed for each other and their country and families was tremendous.  See is an amazing storyteller and has never disappointed me.  I cannot wait to get my hands on another one of her books.
