Very haunting love story about a young Chinese girl.

She grew up in her family villa and has never ventured outside the villa due to Chinese customs and unmarried women. It is arranged for her to marry a man whom her father has chosen.

Before her wedding, her father has given her a gift of recreating parts of a play at the family villa and she is able to experience it behind screens that keep all of the women hidden from view.

Through a crack in the screen she glimpses a view of a dark haired man and .... you'll have to listen to the rest (or read the book).

It was a very good book. Very interesting about Chinese culture.

Recommended.

This wasn't my favorite of Lisa See's books.

Lisa See's stories of Chinese culture's effects on its women capivate me. Foot binding, the birth of chinatown in San Francisco, arranged marriages, paper sons and the bonding of women that starts in childhood are the reasons I seek out her books.

I was captivated and had to listen to all 5 discs to find out how the story ended. Nice voice for reader "jodi Long". I did prefer the first Lisa See novel "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" but welcomed the gentle culture of Peony.
