I enjoyed this book so much. I loved the story that was told but I also loved learning about the Ahka people featured in the story and all their beliefs, superstitions and traditions. I found myself constantly looking up something about them while reading the book. It fascinates me to learn about different cultures. It also gave me a desire to visit China which I have never had before.
Another aspect of the story was about tea. I have just recently become aware of how many different teas there are so this was very interesting to me as well.
In the story we follow Li-yan and her journey away from her family to the big city and watch as she struggles with personal issues. We watch her become a business owner and entrepreneur. We are also told of the family she leaves behind and how they evolve over the years. It is a story of love and family and tea and so much more. The heart warming ending had me in tears. Excellent ending Lisa See!
