“Tales of Ming Courtesans is a brilliant, ‘own voices’ alternative to Memoirs of a Geisha. Readers will love seeing 17th century China through the eyes of the young courtesan-poet Liu Rushi. An exquisite reading experience. Highly, highly recommended.” – M. H. Boroson, author of The Girl with Ghost Eyes
“Tales of Ming Courtesans is a poignant and captivating exploration of the lives of three extraordinary women. As with her courtesans, Poon handles the tumultuous fall of the Ming Dynasty with grace and nuance that evokes the underlying beauty beneath the violence of this period of Chinese history. Ultimately an enduring tale of the power of sisterhood and the bonds between women.” -- Jeannie Lin, USA Today bestselling author of The Lotus Palace
