Book Review of Snow Flower and the Secret Fan

Snow Flower and the Secret Fan

Excellent Book about Chinese women and girls in the 1800s. It has many cultural insights about arranged marriages, footbinding, and a "woman's place" in that place and time. Two girls become "old sames" or formalized best friends. It is a great story of suffering and love. I read this in 4 days!
