- Title:
- Dolls Book Club: Factory Girls
- When:
- 28.09.2010 19.30 h
- Where:
- Shanghai
- Category:
- Girls Only
Description
September's book club has been brought forward a couple of days due to the National Day holiday and the thought that lots of people might be planning a trip away from the Thursday night (30th Sept).
At this month's meeting we'll be discussing "Factory Girls" by Leslie T. Chang.
Chang, a former Beijing correspondent for the Wall Street Journal, explores the urban realities and rural roots of a community, until now, as unacknowledged as it is massive—China's 130 million workers whose exodus from villages to factory and city life is the largest migration in history. Chang spent three years following the successes, hardships and heartbreaks of two teenage girls, Min and Chunming, migrants working the assembly lines in Dongguan, one of the new factory cities that have sprung up all over China.

The next book is:
October: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larrson
Once I have an idea of numbers of people coming, I'll book a venue so please register ASAP! Thanks.

Hey Meredith,
Sorry you can't make it.. hope you get your assignment done.
See you next time :)
Why is it always raining cats and dogs on book club night! :-) See you guys later tonight!
Wow, this is shaping up to be the biggest book club in ages :)
Elise - no problem with registering now...
I've booked a table for 20 and hopefully they'll be able to get us on one long table but, if not, they're going to try and get us as close together as possible.
See you all tomorrow night,
Jenny
I have almost finished the book. 50 pages left.
I hope this is not too late to register.
See you
Elise
Hey Beachlover,
Dont feel that you have to have read the book to come along. Most of the time I haven't even read the book, I just go along because its good company, good food and a good chat about books and stories in general :)
Just discovered this site, would love to join the Book Club! May have to give September a miss as I doubt I can finish the book in time hehehe! But looking forward to October's event! Cheers
I've made a booking at Amokka Cafe on Anfu Lu for the book club, under the name of Jenny. I'm just waiting to get the venue onto the Dolls Directory and then I'll add it onto this page.
Please remember to cancel your registration if you can't make it so I can give the cafe accurate numbers nearer the time (At the moment, I've booked for 20!).
Thanks,
Jenny
