Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See
This novel is absolutely amazing. A professor of mine gave it to me, so it was a freebie! The novel follows the life of a young girl in 19th century China when girls still have their feet bound in order to be desirable wives. This girl becomes lifelong friends with another young girl through the secret language of Chinese women, nu shu. Point of view is first person, the young girl is now a very old woman who believes that everyone she has known in her life has passed on, so now she can finally tell her true story. Overall, it is a wonderful book and I truly have nothing negative to say about it. If one enjoys Memoirs of a Geisha, she will undoubtedly enjoy this novel. I would recommend it to women and girls over fourteen who are interested in historical fiction. I give this novel a 4! I am actually lending this to my best friend who also has a reading blog http://www.livinglaughingreading.blogspot.com.

I love this book!
ReplyDeleteYay! Can't wait to read it. I'm in need of a new one -- just finished 1984! Thanks for the free publicity :) Haha! I'll return the favor soon.
ReplyDeleteYea, Katie! I will have to try 1984, now. As soon as I find where I set this book, I will bring it to you. LOL. I remember putting it somewhere to remember to give to you and now I can't find it! Ha!
