 I'ms so glad I found Lisa See! August 21, 2008
It's not every book you come across that so completely sucks you into a world you knew nothing about. Historical, culture novels aren't really my genre, but I'm glad that I read this one. I'm not sure how accurate the historical details are, but then again, it is a work of fiction. It entertained me, and at the end it made me think - what more could you ask for? I can't wait to discuss it at my next book group meeting!
It is as beautifull as it can be sad, sometimes even funny. August 20, 2008
I have some facination for diferent cultures and lately I have beeing facinated with oriental culture and traditions. Lisa See has opened my eyes to study farther the Chinesse culture. Americans love beauty and fiction, its easier to read than history. This has help me to understand the beauty of woman sufering and how, even in a culture so diferent friendship can be everything for two woman. They live there lives as all of us, but there friendship is the center of there real love and there only escape from reality. Its amazing. I have read the Peony Pavelion. I was more facinated by Japanesse culture.... but now.. I am all about learning about chinnesse culture...
Mesmerizing Tale of Friendship and Tradition August 20, 2008
I borrowed this novel from the library with very low expectations. I doubted that I would enjoy it, because I did not think that I would find it intriguing to read about the Chinese experience for women. Was I ever wrong!!!!!!!! As a high school English teacher, I must admit that this is perhaps one of the best novels I have ever read. It is a beautiful and sometimes shocking story that I read in less than one day. I was mesmerized by the experiences of Lily and Snow Flower, I was shocked by the numerous & unexpected turn of events, and I cried at the end. Everyone should read this compelling and beautiful novel. FANTASTIC!!!
 A beautiful tale of love and friendship August 7, 2008
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and thought it was a beautiful tale that was well written. I'd recommend this book to most women - guys might be a little flustered with it.
Snow flower was pure honest relationship writing August 6, 2008
I enjoyed learning about the culture and the women of China. This book was inspiring and gave light to a rather hidden life of a Chinese woman and her BFF.
