A Thousand Miles of Dreams recounts the evocative and intimate biography of two intensely rivalrous Chinese sisters, a writer and a doctor, whose eventful lives took very different paths in their quest to be independent women. They were Chinese modern girls who sought to forge their own way during a period of social revolution that unsettled relations between men and women, even among nations. Daughters of an imperial scholar-official and a concubine, the two sisters followed professional trajectories unimaginable to their parents' generation.Welland, Sasha Su-Ling is the author of 'Thousand Miles of Dreams The Journeys of Two Chinese Sisters', published 2006 under ISBN 9780742553132 and ISBN 0742553132.
