Helpful Score: 1


Where others may find this book slow going, I found the rich story fascinating. I had very little knowledge of this time in Chinese history, the culture and the social practices of the time. This is a slice of life of women in the nineteenth century of China that go through not only the timeless struggles of love and friendship but also the daily struggles of that period.
