Unabridged Audiobook
Phenomenal 'read / listen.' I love historical fiction, and learned so much about life in China in the 1800's, and all that women endured within the strict social structure, beginning with footbinding. It's a beautiful, painful, heart & soul searing story, so well written and narrated. Highly recommend, a true classic.
This is about the culture and customs lived by wealthy women in China. While their lives were secluded within their homes they were ruled by strict expectations. In contrast the Pulitzer Prize author, Pearl Buck wrote The Good Earth about lives of the poor farmer and family with strong ties to the land.
Great book by Lisa See but The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane is the best
