A very different sort of love story! This book is very well written. Lisa See's writing is very descriptive...actually captivating. Peony in Love is a tale involving "love sickness" (which probably was anorexia nervosa present even in mid-17th century China), perceptions of the after-life, and even early feminism and ideas on women's rights. It's a great book! For me, I can't honestly say that it was a page turner, but I read it at a time in my life when I didn't always have the time to devote to becoming absorbed in a novel, so that might be the reason why. If you like love stories, and if you are interested in Chinese history and culture, I think you will enjoy this book!
