Turn off the TV, grab a snack and a glass of wine, and settle in for a deeply satisfying read. Author Lisa See has written an absorbing and touching tale set in 19th century China. The characters are well-developed and you grow to care deeply for them. The reader will also learn something about historic Chinese culture and the now-forbidden custom of foot-binding. A five-star novel, highly recommended.
