Not my favorite Lisa See novel, but an ok read. A lot of detail paid to ancient Chinese afterlife beliefs and rituals. There were a few exciting and suprising moments as well as some excrutiating descriptions of foot binding, but for the most part the book felt slow moving and weighed down. I was glad to finish it and would recommend any of Lisa See's other novels before trying this one.

This was by far my least favorite of Lisa See's books. I have enjoyed all the other ones, but for some reason this one dragged and I could never get into it. I didn't care for the characters and I couldn't wait for it to end.
