Snow Flower and the Secret Fan
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan: A Novel
by Lisa See
THE BEAUTY OF MEMORIES AND LOVE (3/10/2011)
The first time I read this book " Snow Flower and the secret Fan" It brings me right into China. I could feel the pain of the women in isolation in the Women's Chamber. Lily a brave and wonderful woman of authority, so descriptive in writing and she loves Snow Flower. The book is flourish with culture and memoirs and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to know about Chinese's Women in the 19th Century.
