Great book submitted by paladinpit on June 29, 2023, 7:18am This book was SO GOOD! I wasn't familiar with a lot of the culture and history of 1400s and 1500s China, and the Lisa See did a great job of conveying the culture of the times. Lady Tan is such a force. After reading this book, I want to learn more about her.
10/10 recommend! submitted by hannahrice on August 21, 2023, 4:54pm Lisa See is a brilliant writer, historian, and story-teller. It was fascinating, and humbling, to learn more about navigating the world as a woman during the Ming dynasty. I really enjoyed exploring the concepts of medicine and healing that Lady Tan studied and practiced. This is great for individual reading, but would also make for a wonderful book club selection!
