A riveting tale, set in 19th century China, of two little girls whose lives are linked by a bond stronger than blood. Lily and Snow Flower’s love for each other survives separation, terrible hardship, marriage, childbirth and betrayal. Lisa See’s novel is a compelling story of love and the human spirit, brought vividly to life by the detailed picture it presents of ordinary Chinese women’s lives in a time when their sole value was as housekeepers and goods to be traded between households. If you enjoy Adeline Yen-Mah and Amy Tan, you’ll enjoy this.�
Lisa See is the author of Flower Net, The Interior and Dragon Bones, as well as the critically acclaimed memoir On Gold Mountain. She lives in Los Angeles. Her new novel, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan is a mesmerising novel about two young girls growing up in feudal China.
