Reviews
"A complex period tapestry inscribed with the age-old tragedy of love and death." -- The New York Times Book Review "Electrifying . . . a fascinating and often surprising story of women helping women, women hurting women and women misunderstanding each other." -- The Miami Herald "See mines an intriguing vein of Chinese history . . . weaving fact and fiction into a dense romantic tapestry of time and place as she meditates on the meaning of love, the necessity of self-expression and the influence of art." -- Los Angeles Times "A transporting read, to lost worlds earthly and otherwise." -- Chicago Tribune "A quietly beautiful tale that sneaks into the reader's heart . . . Not since Susie Salmon of Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones has a ghostly narrator been as believable and empathetic." -- San Antonio Express-News "There's much here to be savored and a great deal to be learned." -- The Washington Post Book World

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages. I’ll definitely make another purchase soon! Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!

  • Hard review to write

    This is a hard review to write. I recommend this book highly. It is in the same fashion as Lisa See's other books in that it details Chinese customs and cultural mores. With the change of government, one might say that these customs are no longer in place. However, I know from my family and families of friends that people, although thoroughly "Americanized" still hold on to their beliefs, culture and superstitions weaving them into the more homogenized American ways. My problem is that this is a ghost story. But it is interesting rather than scary. It is seen through the eyes of a young ghost who has starved herself for love, learning too late, that the man she pines for is the man who was to be her husband. They had been betrothed through an arranged wedding but had met and ...

  • the best period womens study

    The author is a most interesting writer of prose...one feels almost like being there, she certainly did some fine research...Reading this book has inspired me to read all her books... This is a book that I will keep to treasure and reread many times to make sure nothing was missed...the story line is more like an old folk or fairy tale.. If you like the genre you will be reading until you get to the last page..

  • Wow- Great Read!

    History ties in with romance, culture, and a little suspense & mystery!!! The first section will take your breath away as our heroine's destiny is dramatically changed forever- and leave the reader coming back for more :) This book is one I will read over and over again. Lisa See is a master of her craft in this novel.

  • Peony In Love

    I intend on getting everything written by Lisa See. This book had a poetic dreamy feel, perfect for the incurable romantic's in us. I read Snow Flower And The Secret Fan first and loved that as well, which prompted me to purchase Peony In Love.

  • Peony in Love

    Bought it for book club. Loved Snowflower and the Secret Fan, but did not like Peony in Love as much. Sort of like a Chinese Stephen King novel. However, it was an excellent depiction of Chinese culture of ancestor veneration.
