Lady Tan's Circle of Women by Lisa See

5.0

---

thank you so much to the author for providing a netgalley arc of this book for me <3

and thank you for writing this book

i love books about women, written by women
and historical fiction
so i knew that this would be perfect for me

i was so right

it's very much character driven, which i love
you follow our mc through her life

i was never bored
everytime there was something new eventhough you'd think it would become monotonous at some point but it wasn't
i read 60% of this book in one day because it was so entertaining

the mc was so nice, everything she did and thought was perfectly in line with who she was
i was never frustated with her

i loved the chinese medicine part of it, it might be boring to some, but as a history girlie i absolutely loved it
it was very interesting to see how some of these methods have influenced modern medecine

all in all, a beautifully written story about the power of women and friendship, and a magnificient historical testimony to ancient China !

i'll definetely buy a physical copy of this
because it was stunning
and the cover is breath-taking <3
