Every single sentence in The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane was succinct and moved the story forward. Lisa See transported me to the mountains of China the entire time I read this book. I have read other books by her including the Shanghai Girls and Peony in Love. This story is about Li-yan, a girl who lives in the remote mountains of China. Her family lives by selling tea leaves to the local tea market. While reading this book I learned a lot about tea and China. I was totally transported into the scenery of the book and away from the snow and cold temperatures of Minnesota. This book was so good I picked up another Lisa See book at the library today.
