. Readers should be more mired than I was about the naming of pavilions and festivals for part 1. Did not know this would be about Chinese death rituals and beliefs. Interesting but not my favorite Lesa see novel. Pretty graphic foot binding which you would expect from the author. The end of the book where she binds the girls feet to raise her life prospects and make her an inside girl was eye opening for me

Difficult to read. Too much jargon of the ancient Chinese variety — names of times of the year or of pavilions or of what women do.
