Lily is haunted by memories-of who she once was, and of a person, long gone, who defined her existence. She has nothing but time now, as she recounts the tale of Snow Flower, and asks the gods for forgiveness. In nineteenth-century China, when wives and daughters were foot-bound and lived in almost total seclusion, the women in one remote Hunan county developed their own secret code for communication: nu shu ("women's writing"). Some girls were paired with laotongs, "old sames, " in emotional matches that lasted throughout their lives. They painted letters on fans, embroidered messages on handkerchiefs, and composed stories, thereby reaching out of their isolation to share their hopes, dreams, and accomplishments. With the arrival of a silk fan on which Snow Flower has composed for Lily a poem of introduction in nu shu, their friendship is sealed and they become "old sames" at the tender age of seven. As the years pass, through famine and rebellion, they reflect upon their arranged marriages, loneliness, and the joys and tragedies of motherhood. The two find solace, developing a bond that keeps their spirits alive. But when a misunderstanding arises, their lifelong friendship suddenly threatens to tear apart. Snow Flower and the Secret Fan is a brilliantly realistic journey back to an era of Chinese history that is as deeply moving as it is sorrowful. With the period detail and deep resonance of Memoirs of a Geisha, this lyrical and emotionally charged novel delves into one of the most mysterious of human relationships: female friendship.

評分 評分After the last two hours of final sit to finish the novel, I am now completely melted in lily’s regret over Snow Flower. I have to admit that the writer really did a way gorgeous work in the fiction structure building, and searching on-the-edge-of-extincti...

read three books by Lisa See in a roll, have had enough, Shanghai girls is probably the best, this one is totally overrated in my opinion
评分以前對於中國古代女性受歧視隻是略略知道些，這麼詳盡的描述還是著實讓我震撼瞭一下。 讀著這本小書，仿佛在聽著那個老太太的自白。悔恨怎樣都是無濟於事。怎麼樣能跳齣自我的狹小來反省自己，纔不緻如此不堪的往事。想起那句話，生活裏沒有好人與壞人，有的是做壞事的人和做好事的人。謹記。
