Snow Flower and the Secret Fan: A Novel by Lisa See
Lily is haunted by memories—of who she was and of Snow Flower, the person long gone who shaped her destiny. Now, in nineteenth-century China, with bound feet and life in near seclusion, she recounts their story while begging the gods for forgiveness.
In remote Hunan, women developed a secret code called nu shu—“women’s writing”—to share their hopes and dreams. Some were paired as laotongs, “old sames,” forging emotional bonds that lasted a lifetime. A silk fan bearing Snow Flower’s poem in nu shu seals her friendship with Lily at the tender age of seven.
Through famine and rebellion, arranged marriages, and the sorrows and joys of motherhood, their bond endures—until a single misunderstanding threatens to tear them apart.
With the period detail and deep resonance of Memoirs of a Geisha, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan offers a lyrical, profoundly moving exploration of one of the most mysterious of human relationships: female friendship.
