I just finished this and really enjoyed it. I heard it was kind of like "The Good Earth" in cultural ways, but while not as deep, it was a much easier read emotionally. I really felt for the characters in Earth, but not nearly as much in this one for some reason. I really liked reading about a culture so so different than anything else I've been exposed to much and the practice of foot binding though.

I loved the sisterhood and deep friendships in it and the commitment they have to each other. Aside from my own true sisters I have the Relief Society and other friends, but in moving around so much I think I long to have that kind of close friendship where you're sworn by contract to be friends forever--and I wish flights were cheaper! I loved that and felt like all women could relate to Snow Flowers feelings towards the end of what she just really wanted from a friend. I was surprised though and saddened by how out of touch Lily was, but maybe I am too more than I know sometimes?

Okay, thinking about all that this book mad me think about, I'm bumping it up to a 4 from the 3 I had it on. I didn't just love the story, but it taught me and makes me think. Worth the read.

So far I've had to skip through parts and I'm not really loving the direction it's going and I'm more than half way. We'll see.

Finished it, turned out okay and I love happy endings, but this wasn't exactly a happy ending, just a resolved one. I was surprised at all the heartache and sadness involved and I thought about how a lot of it could have been avoided if there would have been more communication involved. Talk to your spouse if your on the rocks!

Way too much immorality going on too, I'd skip this one for sure.
