Wow. I'm so glad not to have lived as a woman in 19th century China! Holy moly. But I really enjoy Lisa See's stories.

This book is heartbreaking and beautiful all at the same time. I just want to go on and on about how much I loved this book. This book made me care so much about Lily & Snow Flower that the last part of the book broke my heart. Lisa See’s writing is so beautiful this story just flowed and was so hard to put down.
The foot binding part was so very hard to read about and the way women were treated was so appalling some of the things said that stood out:

The book was well written and really showed the culture of China. Its a nice story of a friendship that despite a traditional start, ended unconventionally. Great read for best friends out there.
I cried, I think it is because the friendship message was so sweet. I am pretty sure my lao tong is definitely my gay guy best friend LOL.
One of my all time favorites. Be prepared as there is much about foot binding.
What a beautifully written book.
This book was amazing. It was both very informational and caught your attention, that I almost read it in a day. Didn't want to put it done. Stood at the stove making dinner and reading this book. This is the first book I read by this author, but have read more of her books with equal admiration of her writing.

This book was beautifully written and it felt like I was invited into a secret world that is so far removed from the society I live in and yet it is based on a culture that is still present but slowly fading into nonexistence. It was interesting and also made me cry a lot of the time but is still one of my favorites.
I realy enjoyed this book, its very interesting to learn what the women went thought getting their feet bound and how their culture treated them in genaral. It made for a great story as well.
it's one of see's bestsellers. lisa see has become a fast favorite of mine. i'm definitely keeping my eyes peeled for this book
