Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, by Lisa See
By Toria Burrell - 9/5/08
I loved this book. Such intimate, sensuous detail, both of the ugliness of suffering and also the beauty of love between friends.
Poignant, heart-wrenching story of a secret love, fascinating secret communication, bitter mis-understandings, betrayal, courage, hope and grace.
The foot-binding aspect is part of the fascinating historical back-drop to the story.
