Book Review of Snow Flower and the Secret Fan

Snow Flower and the Secret Fan
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 1


A heart-rending, but engrossing book. I could hardly put it down...although the details on the role of women in that particular time and society were pretty hard to read. I kept waiting and hoping that Lily (the narrator) would find some way to truly connect with Snow Flower. Some small defiance that would have made her more of heroine...but I guess that wasn't the story being told...
