Cloud Mountain by Aimee E. Liu
The story begins in California in 1906. Hope Neufeld, a vibrant young American girl, and Liang Po-yu, an aristocratic young Chinese man, meet and fall in love in a time and place where it is a crime for them to even touch. Defying the taboos, they marry and in following years move from San Francisco to China to raise their family. Their love is tested by prejudice, revolution, conflicting loyalties and their own drastically different traditions.
This book kept my attention especially well with it's realistic and historically accurate back story.
