From the Bookshelf of PCLS Summer Reading 2014…

[close] When a book inspires me to learn more, I consider it a great read. This is such a book. Set in 19th century China, the author captures the essence of womanhood in a unique, cultural context. Her characters are real and more importantly, their personalities were so well-crafted that I was able to see myself reflected through their actions and thoughts.

See weaves lessons of friendship, love, spite, revenge, self-sacrifice, and cultural identity through the relationship she creates and the plot she provides for readers.

I look forward to reading more of her work over the summer.
