Peony in Love by Lisa See

3.0

This book is a strange, but sweet, book.

A young girl is promised to a young man in marriage, but ends up falling in love with someone else and refuses to marry. She starves herself to death, and is forced to hang around to watch the happiness of others. After something like forty years of watching she learns a lot about love and acceptance.

Ironically, her husband to be ended up being the guy she had fallen in love with. She gets to watch him marry other girls and that's when things get a little weird, but it works out in the end.
