Each story is a fasinating vignette, and together they weave the reader through a world where the moon lady can grant any wish, where a child, promised in marriage at two and delivered at 12,can, with cunning, free herself, where a rich man's concubine secures her daughter's future by killing herself and where a woman can liven on, knowing she has lost her entire life.
