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.�
