where do i even begin with this review! i loved this book, it was so beautifully well written.
i read the journey of lily through her childhood to her old age and viewed her relationship with snow flower and how both of them developed individually and as same-olds.
set in mid-1800s i read as lily and snow flower dealt with things such as footbindings, tragedies, love, death, marriage and children.
cultural and society traditions were adapted and the challenges lily and snow flower went through were eye opening.
it was a beautiful yet tragic story which leaves you with so many emotions
