Helpful Score: 4
This is a well-written piece of fiction that delved into the secret world of women's writing in China. Even without background on this period in Chinese history, it is easy for the reader to visualize the difficulties of growing up as a Chinese woman. Whether it was the painfully vivid descriptions of foot binding, the explanations of the intricacies of nu shu (women's writing), or the sorrowful ups and downs in the relationship between Lily and Snow Flower, Lisa See does a masterful job tying together facts and fantasy in a way that captivates the reader
