Peony has neither seen nor spoken to any man other than her father, a wealthy Chinese nobleman. Nor has she ever ventured outside the cloistered women's quarters of the family villa. As her sixteenth birthday approaches she finds herself betrothed to a man she does not know, but Peony has dreams of her own. Her father engages a theatrical troupe to perform scenes from The Peony Pavilion, a Chinese epic opera, in their garden amidst the scent of ginger, green tea and jasmine. 'Unmarried girls should not be seen in public,' says Peony's mother, but her father allows the women to watch from behind a screen. Here, Peony catches sight of an elegant, handsome man and is immediately bewitched. So begins her unforgettable journey of love, desire, sorrow and redemption.

    I love Lisa See' novels. She teaches us so much about what is it to be a woman. How hard it is to be one. The challenges of mother daughter relationships. What the the world or at least at that time what was/is expected from wives and the most important, how very strong we women are

    Today, many fine marriages are delayed because people are picky on matters of family status and insist on amassing big dowries. When is this going to change?
