ReviewsAdvance praise for Snow Flower and the Secret Fan "Lisa See has written her best book yet. Snow Flower and the Secret Fan is achingly beautiful, a marvel of imagination of a real and secret world that has only recently disappeared. It is a story so mesmerizing the pages float away and the story remains clearly before us from beginning to end." -Amy Tan, author of "The Joy Luck Club and" The Opposite of Fate: A Book of Musings "I was mesmerized by this wondrous book-the story of a secret civilization of women, who actually lived in China not long ago. . . . Magical, haunting fiction. Beautiful." -Maxine Hong Kingston, author of "The Fifth Book of Peace "Only the best novelists can do what Lisa See has done, to bring to life not only a character but an entire culture, and a sensibility so strikingly different from our own.
