Peony in Love by Lisa See

3.0

I enjoyed this book, but not nearly as much as Snowflower and the Secret Fan. The entire book seemed a little overly dramatic. It begins with Peony as a 16 year-old girl who is head over heels for someone she doesn't know. Maybe I'm just cynical, but it's hard for me to really "believe" that sort of feeling. Overall, if you're looking for a book about Chinese culture that's got an interesting story behind it I'd say stick with her first novel, Snowflower and the Secret Fan.
