Rules for Virgins by Amy Tan

1.0

I love Amy Tan books and this one is an exception. Started with it bravely, discounting the title, and halfway through realised that titles do matter. The whole book is an advice to an aspiring concubine regarding the rules to survive and excel in her trade. It is not sensationally vulgar, but offended my proprietary senses by considering women as second class citizens. I know it was the norm in olden days, especially in Asia, still I felt outraged and gave up on the book as a form of silent protest.
