I enjoyed this, even the supernatural parts...but I had to keep reminding myself that Peony was a teenager and not a full grown woman, which explained a great deal of her general dumbness. 16 year-olds are the same no matter where and no matter when!
Lisa See continues to amaze me. Her books have the ability to move me, educate me and transport me to another place and time. When the book took a different turn in the middle, it unnerved me and I thought that I might not finish it. I'm glad that I stuck with it. Beautifully written, I cried through most of the book. Jodi Long has once again made the book come alive for me. So talented. A powerful book and I very highly recommend.
Another good read from Lisa See though not my favorite one. An interesting ghost story reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet.
