Just been reading all the posts about this book - terrific! Anyone ever had a fight with a woman in a Karate or Kung-Fu dojo or seen them nearly kill each other at martial arts competitions?
I have! If you're a guy reading this, I can tell you, don't go there! Women can be tough, merciless and fast! My Lord, I mean super-fast. Which is of course why Wing Chun is such an effective style and was developed by a woman.
I'm sure the debates over The Butterfly Garden will continue - hugely successful book that it is, but as for underestimating women, I wouldn't and anyone that has read The Charm of Revenge, knows why.
Happy reading.
