Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See
In the vein of Memoirs of a Geisha and Empress Orchid, a mesmerizing novel about two young girls growing up in feudal China
'Lisa See has written her best book yetSNOW FLOWER AND THE SECRET FAN is achingly beautiful, a marvel of imagination of a real and secret world that has only recently disappeared. It is a story so mesmerizing the pages float away and the story remains clearly before us from beginning to end' Amy Tan 'The story of a secret civilisation of women, who actually lived in China not long ago ... Magical, haunting fiction. Beautiful' Maxine Hong Kingston 'As both a suspenseful and poignant story and an absorbing historical chronicle, this novel has bestseller potential and should become a reading group favourite as well.' Publishers Weekly 'Only the best novelists can do what Lisa See has done, to bring to life not only a character but an entire culture. An engrossing and completely convincing portrayal of a woman shaped by suffering and the friendship that helps her to survive.' Arthur Golden, author of Memoirs of a Geisha
