Author: Lisa See

This is one of the books included in Kathryn’s 2025 birthday bag. I saw the idea on Facebook and decided to pass it along. On her birthday Kathryn received a bag of books (second hand that I’ve pre-read) each wrapped in brown paper. The idea is that once a month (on her birthdate) she can pick a book to read. Each book includes a bookmark of some sort.

This is one of the books that I didn’t pre-read. I’m a fan of Lisa See though and I hope to get it back one day so I can read it.

UPDATE: During our Spring trip to Regina Kathryn gave me the book back. I loved it both for the story and the insight into the Chinese culture, specifically the lives of girls and women.
