Carol E. (cemmett) reviewed on 1/9/2013 + 9 more book reviews

There was a Indie movie made of this movie (with the same title) that had a contemporary piece about two Chinese girls and one of them is reading what is the essential story in this book and how it parallels she and her friend. The book clearly depicts life of women in China and the custom of footbinding -- fairly vividly.

I saw the movie first and it has its merits, but the book is worthy of a read as well. Book club members would find much to discuss here.
