Women of Good Fortune by Sophie Wan

3.0

---

The female friendship shown in this book was so heart felt and real! The ups and downs that are portrayed are life like and really give the characters the depth that some novels are missing. As an American it was eye opening to see how China views marriage and to see how family dynamics work in the Chinese culture. Lulu has a family that depends on her, but her dad is the shining star to her. Jane and her mother’s relationship shows the beauty standards of China. Rina’s story brings light to women’s role in the workplace and how unfair it is. I love how Sophie Wan wove all three stories into one and there was a lesson for each woman that we as readers can take away from reading Women of Good Fortune, and that there was a bigger picture takeaway from all of the ladies stories being woven together. I would recommend this book to anyone who will listen!
