Snow Flower and the Secret Fan
Lisa See
In the vein of "Memoirs of a Geisha" and "Empress Orchid", this is a novel about two young girls growing up in feudal China.






This was a moving book about friendship and how different perceptions can affect it. I also learned a lot about women's lives and customs in 19th century rural China.
Beautiful, touching, heartbreaking, educational, simply wonderful. My mom gave it to me as it is one of her favorites also. Can't praise it enough!
Stunning historical fiction about the extraordinarily cloistered lives of women in nineteenth century China. This book was, for me, so entirely convincing that at times I almost had trouble believing that it was fiction. Highly recommended.
