This book introduces us to the original form of the Cinderella tale, set in ancient rural China.
Xing Xing is the stepdaughter of a bitter, widowed second wife. Kind, hardworking, intelligent Xing Xing is subjected to much cruel treatment from her family but faces it all with dignity and a resolve to better her lot and the situation of those around her. This book seemed very authentic and well-researched. I've reread it several times and it still brings a smile to my face.
