What It’s About: Lady Tan was a real person, who published a book dedicated to the health concerns of women, way back in the 16th century. Lisa See imagined what her background was, what her life experiences were most likely that she would have the privilege to write and be so knowledgeable in a world and time that was typically very limiting to the ambitions of women.
Thoughts: First the negative; some of the scenes and conversations were so TELL TELL TELL and clunky. For the positives; the situations and events that propelled the action and the presentation of the historical research explored was fascinating. Lisa See was able to give life into her main characters and overall, it was a very enjoyable read.
Rating: I gave it 4 slices of pie. Should be a good conversation at book club.
