Another stunner from Lisa See. She writes so beautifully and paints a breathtaking picture of time and place. Her characters came alive for me, and I loved, suffered and weeped along with them. An eye opening look at the cruel custom of foot binding, and the relationships forged by women to love and support one another in a culture where women are considered basically worthless. Completely engrossing and unforgettable. Very highly recommended.
