Ruth C. (peanutplays) reviewed on 5/4/2008 + 87 more book reviews

I read this book but really didn't like it. To me it just dragged on and on. I really enjoyed it at first when the main character Lily was a child and I found the foot binding to be interesting but the middle of the book just dragged on and I had to display a lot of self control to get through it. I've read other novels about chinese traditions that are far more interesting than this, to me this just dwelt too much on the womens point of view and was not balanced. It left me with a lot of questions and not enough answers.
