A bracelet. A curse. And golden fishbones to be returned to the sea ...
Guangdong, 1940. When Ha Yut Ying narrowly escapes Japanese soldiers by turning invisible, she knows her new-found magic must be kept a secret. But her mother, whose dreams foretell the future, suspects her daughter has changed, and warns her of a curse upon their family. For her protection, she gives her a gold bracelet whose links are shaped like fishbones.
After the war, Ha Yut Ying is sent to live with her father and his second wife, who have become wealthy factory owners in Hong Kong. Her stepmother, jealous of her beauty, forces her to work in the family's shoe factory.
But when Yut Ying collides with a boy on a bicycle on her way to work, she loses her bracelet. The boy is Tommy Yeung, scion of a local soymilk tycoon. And their encounter will change both of their destinies forever...

This book is so immersing. It's a beautiful story about a poor woman. You follow her throughout the war and her life. I love the references of cinderella mixed with the Chinese mythology. This isn't your classic cinderella retelling story though. It was hard to read about her live during the world war and how the civil war affected her. However this made the story that more beautiful. I was happy at her higher points in life and sad when life didn't go like planned. I definitely recommend reading this book.
