Customer Review:
This book made a great summer read! I found myself picking it up every chance I got because I couldn't wait to find out what would happen next. There are many stories and characters (100's) intricately woven together. I imagine that if soap operas had existed in the middle ages, the storylines would... more info

from Dial Press Trade Paperback
Price: $11.20

Customer Review:

Not to be redundant with all the other positive reviews, but simply put, this was a beautiful story of two women -- raised together as "same sisters" and the tale of their trials, tribulations, joy and happy moments as they go through life in mid 1800s China.

I'm not a hype reader, so I didn't pick up this book until May of 2008, long after it had been hyped and written about all over the web.
