Wow! What a book. Great writing about a very interesting subject matter. 

Set in 15th century China, this is an amazing book following a woman physician and her friendship with a midwife. Spanning 70 years, it explores themes of womanhood, friendship, grief, motherhood whilst being highly informative about 15th century China. 

I’d highly recommend!
